I was able to follow the route during the recitation using your 1:250,000 map which had enough named points in common. Unfortunately we did not have a chance to record the audio/video. The herding route (described/sung by Oom Paul Waterboer in Pella) predated the shift in ownership in that area.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On 4 July 2017 at 08:07, Aslam Parker <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Aslam.Parker@drdlr.gov.za" target="_blank">Aslam.Parker@drdlr.gov.za</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5">
