So last night we had the inaugural get together at the Traveller’s Nest guest house in Centurion.
If you did not follow it, here was the event planning

Several Dawgs and a few non dogs attended, I recon this morning a few of us have a babi or two to content with.

Herewith a photo story of the event:

Our gracious host and his beautiful wife – Thanks Pat we had a wonderful time. Your hospitality was out of this world and thanks for all the effort you and Mart put into this.  I am honoured to be your friend

Thanks to all that attended – I believe BlueBull2007 has already volunteered to do the next briefing on his travels in South America. Book your diaries now for the last Friday in September





 
Lyk kwaai.
September - Het dit so genotuleer, laat weet net waar.
 
Ek het ook 'n babi vanoggend gehad. Maar ek het darem lekker gekuier....

Thanks Leo en Pat. Great idea! :thumleft:
 
Cool idea there Leo. :thumleft:

What about having a get=together there every now and then, and have a slide show/presentation of a trip one of us has done?
 
Looks lekker!! Sorry we missed it - heard of a few sore heads this morning... or was it this afternoon still ;)
 
what a great night! will definitely be attending more of these :)
thanks for hosting us pat and to everyone for sharing their tips and stories, especially leo & co. :notworthy:
 
Damn, jammer ek het dit gemis! Gaan defnitief die vgl een maak. Waar die Excalibur is, kan dit net lekker gaan!  :biggrin:
 
Thanks to Pat and Leo - was really great watching and listening to the adventure! And the innovative engineering tips - mattress pumps are handy it seems!
 
Yeah - moerse thanx Leo and Pat, great initiative, venue - but most of all great friends
 
Dos Sertos evening, that's the theme of our next event, it will be held on the first Friday of October, BlueBull2007 will be in SA all the way from Peru. He will do a presentation similar to Leos, sharing his adventures. Well start a new topic, where everybody who will attend can let us no.

As for Friday night, thanks to all the WDs who made it a great evening. Thanks to Leo, everybody enjoy what you did, specially the way you made us taste a bit of your experience.

At the next event there will be a better outside fire place for the Wild Owls, the last owl left about 2.30 Saturday morning. There were also some who didn't drive home and stayed over in the guest house. For me it was a great way to introduce Travellers nest to the WDs, Thanks for a wonderful event 8)

That's the plan, well try and do it every last Friday of the month,  like the get together at the first Friday in October, when BueBull2007 is in SA, we can change the date.
 
Hey yes thanks everybody and thanks for waiting for us Leo.
It was very informative and lekke to meet a bunch of you.
Keep us posted on the October event.

And then there are people like Zonkelnut...
Jy's 'n headcase Dude! :biggrin:
 
Leo / Excalibur and the rest of the clan that did the Angole adventure - RESPECT  :thumleft:  It was worth every minute of being stuck in the Jhb - Pretoria traffic in the cage just to get to Patman's spot.  For those that missed it, sorry but you missed out  :biggrin:

 
Leo, dankie vir die presentation op 'n moerse trip. Ek dink ons almal het julle beny. Het jy 'n ride report en foto's van julle trip?
