[QUOTE="boobook, post: 530515, member: 1605"] Not a tale of what we missed but a tale with a moral anyway. Few years ago we came across a spot which looked like a tour group had camped there. The ash remains of a very large fire and the ground well flattened by a good number of feet and such like. We were amused to see a goodly number of filled dig holes around the fire area, laughing we wondered about the "new chums" digging stubby tops. Parked about 50 metres away we were having lunch when a 4x4 vehicle drove past about 150metres away from us, went around some trees and out of site returning about an hour later. Drove right up to us, we had been recognised, the first comment made was "we think we got all of them" Could not believe it, they had killed it right where a group had sat, yarned but never waved a wand over it! Not going to reveal what they scored but his missus said she was tempted but didn't look under the ashes. Davsgold would remember this :D :Y: mike [/QUOTE]
