In Search of Good Dung

---

---

So we gathered a group of hardy explorers, packed kit, beer and muesli, rented a truck and headed into the great wilderness of South Africa for a little do-it-yourself safari adventure!

Not much text to accompany this blog entry - this one is all about the eye candy! (definitely not a reference to our beer bellies) Enjoy the photos!

A note about photo credits, each photo has initials within brackets:

(A.A.) = Alex "Preposterous" Armistice (click HERE to buy his photos - sorry, he makes me say that)

(C.R.) = Cody "Tiger Lilly" R.

(C.W.) = Yours truly

Gotta keep moving.. a rolling ball of dung gathers no moss.. stay tuned..
