A full moon ride over Swartberg pass must be awesome :clap:

An all-time favoured long-ago memory is (on holiday) leaving the Oudtshoorn in-laws and wife and children to cycle up the Swartberg for a spectacular full-moon and windless clear sky solo camp on the peak in the snow.  Sublime, no really… Sublime.

sorry Chris didn't mean to have a go at you. There are just too many cases of people being killed / maimed by supposedly tame wild animals. And then the animal gets put down. Personally I wouldn't go near any wild animal that is capable of killing me.

Love your Swartberg photos by the way.

Hahah saw this on Reddit this morning. Apparently Hippos have been known to be ungrateful assholes :P

Hippos are known to be very dangerous. You'd be better off facing a rhino.

Rhinos do seem to be quite chilled.  They regularly amble up to our vehicle on our weekly nighttime anti-poaching patrols outside PE.  Ain’t getting out of that vehicle though, not a chance.

Years ago, when Midmar dam still had Rhino on their reserve, I did a race that went through there.

I was going down a long, fast jeep track when a rhino ambled across the road in front of me. Brakes were grabbed. Pants were $h@t.
