I live in Bloemfontein in the Free state. Wow what an oppurtunity to have met Steven. When will you be visiting again ?[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry Marli, I was just headed out the door and missed that you said where you were located. I was just really excited to see that someone new from SA was on this site.
Yes, Steven was quite pleasant. In fact everone was extremely hospitable. I got to see a Jackal Buzzard fly in the rugby field and I donated Ed Pritchers book (The Flying of Falcons) to the Penryn college library before I left.
The experience would have been better but I'd tried to keep up with the Afrikaans in the game of drink the night before and failedI loved watching that little Af-gos fly on Blacksmith plovers.
I may be going back again next May or June 2013 not sure yet. I should be guiding an Elk hunt here in NM this October for an Afrikaan gentleman. If it's not successful I may not be invited back LOL.
I'll be looking forward to your posts, and again welcome.
All the best!
