GUIDING A RIVER IN THE KAROO
Down in the gramadoelas - that's the boondocks of South Africa - there is an amazing river that flows all the time and provides fantastic fun. Imagine, semi-desert and lots of cool whitewater! It's the Great Fish River, fed by water transfers from the Orange River further north. James Jordaan of Karoo Rafting needed to hire some guides for big school trips. So RIVERMAN arranged for Damian and Marius, both experienced on several rivers, to assist down there and show what they could do. James was pleased and so were we. Apart from one incident which the guides handled fast and efficiently - two Crocs capsized under a tree - there were no bad spill but plenty of thrills. Part of the route involves running weirs (man made walls across the flow). Weirs can be dangerous but at normal levels the Fish River weirs are runnable if correctly guided and controlled. You can even stand up in the suck-back below. The guides warned the school groups about weirs: stay away from them! Our guys had a great time and were well looked after in a chalet, with braais at night and beds with real sheets. And it wasn't a drawback to return to the office in the morning - considering that the office is the river! - NEED GUIDES? Give us a call. - Graeme The Riverman 084 245 2490 yeeha@riverman.co.za

Mountaineering Base Electric Storm 360 View - December 2012
During the Senior Scout Adventure December 2012, unusual weather played an interesting role. This video shows the electric storms approaching from 3 distinct areas. The South, over Sneukop, from the East over the Tankwa Karoo in two different areas.
The down pour was violent and incredible to watch. Not all lightning bolts where captured, but the video should give a good idea on the intensity of the storms.
