The Dimwits had a bleddie marvelous trip to Mopane Camp this September, our first ever, and we were the full 6, although unintentionally...
Beginning September
Triiing triing
Leachy: "Hello, my leg has fallen off so let me stay at your Mopane spot as I need assistance to operate."
RP: "Very well!"
Mid-September:
Triiing triiing
Goldenboy: "My wife has broken her foot, so I will only be there for the Saturday night."
RP: "Very well!"
(This was actually not too bad regarding our trips! )
This is going to be a long story.
Cast of Characters:
Lord Leachworthy of Corset Upon Tyne (The Monitor)
Dwarf (The Driver)
Borderline (The Obnox)

Re: Damwits - Mopane Full House 2019
It was a cold and stormy morning when we left Nelspruit on the outward leg to Phalaborwa, which we had not done for many years!
What would the trip bring? Would it be hot? What would the surprises from Phalaborwa Spar be? Did it matter? Where there too many questions? Who knew?
The trip was fine although we messed up at the Spar a bit...everything was perfectly pre-ordered and we picked food and booze up and paid like clockwork.
BL: "Right! Excellent! let's go to the gate!"
Dw: "Well donned!"
Frew: "For a change! "
RP: "They stole half my beer! "
RP was furious and stomped off to the shop, but fortunately found the beers lying in the parking lot where they had fallen off his trolley.
BL: "Right!"
Dw: "Ok let's be going then!"
Frew: " "
RP: "..."
This was a more tricky trip as we were hauling a trailer behind Dwarf's Dong II, as we could be six in the car at any moment and leachy may or may not have picked up the groceries and we were not sure where leachy was etc. etc. Not perfectly organised, but I still maintain better than normal!
We took out cameras at Sable Dam!
Poor bird...
Borderline was the only one who had remembered AW uniform besides myself!
A very nice spot!

Re: Damwits - Mopane Full House 2019
It was astoundingly dry, although it is normal for this time of year, if that makes sense?
The loop behind the Dam to Masorini:
Erfplaas is no-more...
Frew: "Why is your horizon a bit sloped?"
RP: "Do YOU want to take the pics?"
Frew: "Yes, ok!"
RP: "Silence!"

That's gonna be entertaining again
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
