This weekend was our annual pilgrimage to Sabie where the
Scouters from the Eastern Gauteng district head down for some "tubing" down the
Sabie river.
The weekend as always was lovely. The weather was the best in a long time. On
arrival on Friday at about 12h00, we set up camp. Soon thereafter, we had our
one and only rain shower for the weekend. The remaining time was hot with high
humidity which made it appear sweltering. Packing up on Sunday produced copious
amounts of sweat from everyone concerned.
Anyway, as normal, there are photos below with the normal commentary.

This photo was taken at Dulstroom during a stopover. Hayleigh believe it
or not wanted to stay at school which meant she came out later with the
Troop Scouter. So in the car was Jenna, Cheralyn, Luke, John and the wife
and myself. Caravan in tow as well |

The launch pad... At the
bridge where everyone
gets in, there are some
brave souls who prefer
the backwards jump into
the water from up on
high. Here are some of
those made persons.
