Elephants also like onions,  we were camping at Croc Valley in South Luangwa​ I had just put an onion into a chicken before roasting in a bread oven. When an elephant appeared out of the darkness took the chicken, another took two loaves of bread of my kitchen shelf. Later we found the chicken but no onion inside, Sean the manager of the camp laughed and said they trained them, to make us eat in the restaurant! Unfortunately my Nikon was in the Landy , so I only have a pic taken on my Iphone

    Indeed.
     
    I knew about elephants and citrus/oranges, but apples?
     
    what else are they keen on?

    Basically ANY fruit, but Citrus and Apples is a definate NO-NO in free
    camping situations
    It will be safer to play Russian Roulette with two rounds in the chamber.

    Guys, I need some help PLEASE.
     

     
    Is there anyone in, or near to, Centurion who would be able to have a look
    at a Conqueror Offroad Trailer for me.
     

     
    I don't expect you to be experienced with the rigs, just more a case of
    looking at the overall condition and equipment details for me?
     

     
    I'd be really grateful and will reward with a bottle or two..
     

     

     
    mh.

    I’m not rushing in but the deal has gotten quite sweet so no great urgency.
     

     
    The owner is selling privately but it’s standing at Caravan and Outdoor near to Lyttleton Manor, in the Pierre Van Ryneveld area.

    So for a car alone it's also $2? Flip, 100% increase is a bit of a wack!

    you find new ones

    Hi Errol
     
    I'd try Alucab or Big Country.

    So, take the 'bent' bit, straighten it, then make up a drawing depicting the
    exact dimensions etc.
     
    Head for a local metal's shop.
     

     
    It looks like it is made from standard parts, so a bit of drilling, grinding
    and cutting should sort it out with a new one.

    It was nearly a year again that we embarked on our adventure and yesterday my Daughter (11 years old) posted onto our blog for the first time in many months.
     
    She did this out of the blue and I didn’t even know till I got a notification of a new comment.

    All I can say is I miss it too but should be on the road in December to Zim for a few weeks. Looking forward to it and the heat. Will be asking questions closer to the time J

    I will (nearly) bet that the hinge will be from Furnlock in Wynberg
    (Jo'burg).
