The Bushpig Thumper Bash - Bankfontein farm - 12-14 April 2024 - Two Nights off line! & RR

[Umko]

Very luckily the farmer turned out to be a retired orthopod and his daughter a nurse. They patched Tony up and gave him painkillers. I suspect he will be able to ride his bike - at least to “civilization” where he can get transport home and store his bike

 

[Lars]

Very good news, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rob for organizing a lekker bash. It was a lovely ride on the dirt from Philipollis and on the farm road. And you and Ellie worked so hard to ensure we all got there (eventually!) and were generously fed and watered.

I am sure I met him once, or was it you Odd Dog, at a MOTHs boerie sale in Dana Bay.

It could have been me as I do remember chatting to a chap with a bike there.

I got a Message from Tony. He says he is fine.

Joop sorted him and after two nights rest he was able to ride again... The RR wild be called muddy piggy veldtie... I trust everyone will tell their tale or two in the next few days.

Thanks to Keith, aka @ruffian we had a good bed of coals for the steaks on Saturday night.
Took a while to defrost them first as our inpromtu ride to Orania made me forget to take them out the freezer...
