Klaserie: 103.4%

Jip! Groot weer voorspel hier vir volgende week!

Klaserie is 100.8% op 11/01/21 en Blyde Dam is 100.07%, met die naweek se reen gaan dit net nog aanhou oorloop!

Hoedspruit is standing on 450mm average for the summer so far. 100mm more than total rain for last 3 seasons, and we are only entering our main rain months now. Most rain on record for October,...

Forest cobra do not occur in Thaba, so likely Snouted cobra

From ASI, old viral pic. Not an African snake599538

Looks like a Snouted cobra

Yep not a mamba. Not even close, see screenshot from ASI599435

Rescued and relocated two snouted cobras in the last two days on the farm, the rain has the snakes very active!599421599422599423

For my old V6TDI, I got Sachs for the front from GW. Rear I believe is Bilstein, also from GW. Very decently priced, front shocks including new mounts were R4080 including VAT for both. Never got...

The only official camping area there is the Serala Forest Station, very basic and a bit run down when I was there last year. However it is a good base to explore from, accessible by a long and bad...

Will you be wildcamping (i.e. small tent, basics while hiking) or taking a full setup?

Swadini en Klaserie Dam, ek sou Swadini verkies persoonlik, veral in die somer

Ja ek dink oord is dalk die verkeerde woord, meer soos 'n omgewingsvriendelike boskamp

Dit moes fantasties gewees het!

Ek wonder gereeld hoe mens die plek kan omskep in 'n oord, soveel potensiaal... Die piekniekplek is nog daar, lekker swemplek!

See attached the original description of the botanical treasures of the Mariepskop area. Prof Manie van der Schijff (the botanical garden at Tuks is named after him) did the work, it is very...

Nee hulle is oop oor naweke en vakansiedae, gaan gereeld op

The feedback I gave is directly from the guys at ASI, sent them the photo in the OP, if you disagree then you can follow up with them?.

But, time to braai ;D

Sorry, somehow forgot about this.

The snake in the OP is confirmed by ASI as a Herald. The 'loose' skin is its neck expanding as it is consuming a toad, not a hood.

'Hi xxx,

Once you see the Limpopo sign towards Ohrigstad, the road is fine. MP side of the road still potholed, but mostly fixed now

Geniet dit, dit begin lekker warm raak die kant en die berg is meeste dae lekker oop so die views behoort mooi te wees [emoji1303]

I was up there about 3 weeks ago.

Very doable, just be sure to get there before the rains start in November, some washed out sections, especially towards the top. But absolutely worth it.

Dullstroom-Lydenburg, best option by far. Watch out for potholes after Lydenburg on the way to Ohrigstad, however they are busy fixing the road

I got a little T-Piece at a hydraulics shop that fit perfectly when it happened on my old Treg. Was something like R20 if I remember correctly

I have the Pirelli Scorpion ATR+ on my Touareg.

20000km and they still look like new. Farm roads, dirt roads and some bad rocky dirt roads at relatively high speeds, no problem.

Will fit them...

Second the Dullstroom-Lydenburg-Orighstad-Hoedspruit route, by far the best. Some potholes between Dullstroom and Lydenburg, and between Lydenburg and Orighstad up to the Limpopo/Mpumalanga border...

Just make sure you are familiar with the tubing technique, especially for longer venomous snakes, there is a bit of a trick when closing the lid.

All covered during training at the ASI courses...

The fat body is just because of a recent meal, look at the head, ventral bands and patterning

Molesnake, harmless but bite readily and can cause quite a bit of damage

Rinkhals, highly venomous, please see attached screenshot for details of a snake remover in your area553142

Yes, as per JFH, Marbled Tree Snake

This is a herald, note the white speckled scales, dark head and smooth scales, whereas rinkhals have keeled scales.

So I get into the Touareg yesterday and as I start reversing out of the garage I notice that the brake pedal is bloody hard and I have no boost on the brakes.

Traced the boost lines and lo and...

Yes please, very interested!

Congrats! Do you mind providing details on the LED replacement bulbs?
