Frewells was the pilot, and Borderline was at the back with me and babbling about having never seen eland, so to shut him up I said we would see them at the dam up ahead... O**

As Peter Betts has told us fifty times one can drive on the dam wall, which makes for some nice views! [O] Were my Lions on the Dam wall
