His/her mom dissapeared into some bolders, and left it. We took the pics and rode away, Lynx kit. Hairy, Sanderis, Mads and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told my buddy he'd better not tell anyone. Too late though, pic is on facebook. Mads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're never going to hear the end of this. Maybe all's not lost, you could always make new friends with the (many) game farmers in your neck of the woods.  I see the Linx on Table Mountain from time to time and I marvel that they have survived despite what civilization threw at them the last few hundred years. My Karoo family and friends can't understand that I'm happy for them to have some of my Springbok lambs every year. Maybe the fact I don't have to make my living from it helps?

Squier Posted August 11, 2013 Share Another spin along the Gariep dam whilst visiting the folks. Would've been a very chilled out ride in a very chilled out area if wasn't for the not-so-chilled-out ostrich that chased me. I've ridden there a lot, mostly alone, and this was a first. Will definitely be a little more weary in future. Still, good times. At the moment I'm in my car on the N1, somewhere between Bloem and Kroonstad, and would much rather be on my bike in the Karoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted August 11, 2013 Share Out and about in Walkerville south of Jobeg, unfortunately it would seem our days of enjoying the trails up by the 'infamous' black wattle climb have come to an abrupt end ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
