Orange River traversed

[Bob Molloy]

An intrepid trio of researchers last month ended a complete traverse of the Orange River (2,125km over 61 days) by kayak and had this pic taken on a sandbar at the mouth. The object was to wrap up the first full-length ecological survey of the river.

Bob, thanks for the post, where is the link?

[Bob Molloy]

I don't seem to be able to post live links. When I do so they simply transpose into an ordinary line of text. That's the case here.
The last line is the link. However, it still works if you copy and paste it into the Google search box.

  You can read the text but I think this is the photo of the guys at the end of their journey at the mouth of the Orange River.

Thanks Frank! Typical misty morning down at the mouth, good thing they landed on the SA side, as our local law enforcers do not take too kindly to folk having a few toots down at the beach these days....

No booze at the beach  with a braai ? Nanny state ??

Just an over zealous police force,although on the other hand when you see how today's folk cannot handle their tipple, it might not be such a bad thing...

No worries Michael the journey they traveled would have been awesome they look well and truly knackered
