Relax people... -O

Dinner was done, plastic chickens and spuds all to perfection! \O

Cadbury gestured something to us...

We understood this as...lets go on a night drive

So, we took the plunge. ;-) All aboard and the iBoss doing the final cross checks...

It was time to roll into the DARKNESS.... 0-

On a serious note, I'm sure the other guys will confirm, this farm does not lack in size, number of roads in excellent condition and diversity and quantity of game. Four legged and winged things are all over the place, so much so that you eventually take it all for granted

I hope so Lis. We will just have to wait for Sprocks to post his pics as we will be waiting years for RP to post his...... unless they saw Nyala that is. -O

Hope you saw something really good on the bird front RP. Post it now and I might be able to ID it by the time this TT finishes. -O (Unless it's the plastic chicken you took a pic of? =O: ). X#X

OOhhh, some more pics. Hope you saw something good on the night drive????

That's what I waited for :twisted: Why have none of you guys joined the "What's that bird" thread? O**

It is far too easy to ask Dewi to ID a bird :evil: Start working lazy bones!!! :twisted:

Agree Mellie, that's why we took it along. There were a few wooden heads that needed polishing from time to time.

For some reason it was dark and stayed that way! O/

Due to this, we found no game but we managed to stay warm. \O Next thing, as we were crossing a dangerous low water bridge, the Boss developed a serious cough. Unbeknown to us it was contagious and we had to stop for medicinal purposes. O**

Once the rest of us were sure that we had countered this epidemic, the prescribed medicine worked too well on Cadbury. 0*\ He broke out into a serenade to the Master(guest). 0:

The food was brilliant, to say the least! O/\

(Few pics though.. 0*\ )

Twit1 and Twit2 were trying to get the spotlight sorted, but as usual I was proactive and dug up some blankets for all four of us, which helped a lot! (I have been on some night drives in my life! ;-) )

The Guest: "Well, done, Cadbury. I hereby rescind your final warning."

RP: "Thank You, Sir! I do my best."

The Guest: "What are these peasants up to, Cadbury?"

RP: "I'm not sure, Master...but given our track record for today, my prediction is poor..."

The Guest: "I see...at least the food was exceptional. Err, Cadbury, is the cooler packed?"

RP: "But of course, Sir!"

The Guest: "Well done."

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: O-/ (0) what the heck, out of your vehicle in a reserve and on a pitch black night as well....shocking. At least there was no alcohol, just cough mixture.

Sprocky has entirely lost the plot here!

I had confiscated the liquor involved, just to ensure a safe trip back to camp....in the dark... 0*\
