Lions-den Butchery - they made the best biltong &shavings on the planet
Senyati Gorge - when you shout the echo goes on for a minute!
Inyangombe pools - the water really does make your willy turn inside-out

Inyangombe pools - the water really does make your willy turn inside-out




I loved Nyanga. I can almost smell those pine tree forrests, feel the cold chill and hear the stillness. I loved going to Troutbeck and doing trout fishing and thenhaving a game of golf. The waterfalls, the pools (as you mentioned), the campsites filled with all your mates.


Ah, those were the days.

[biffon]

heres some more:


Mclwaine - Postals - Sunday on the water - sking, wakeboarding, tubing, fishing , spading

[biffon]

The Round bar at Karibea bay - getting smashed over easter weekend or gooks N spooks,with your mates.


Houseboat trips on the lake - spurwing, Fothergill& other destinations. -Outstanding


Featherstone Polocross - a whole weekend of spading, drinking & horseriding Edited by: biffon

[Greenballs]

Nyanga- Inn on Ruparara... great couple spot, you do the rest!


Twin rivers for that babalaas curing lunch en route back to HRE after a drunkard week in Kariba.


Sampakaruma Island for over drunk day trips!


Mapane bay for late comers- sleep in the car sort of humour because it was a good idea to drive to Kariba at mid- night?


Dombashawa for sun uppers because it was a good idea to carry on drinking at 6am. The climb sobered you up!


The RIVER... need I say more?

[biffon]

Mupane bay - damn that brings back serious memories


- waking up to Cher pumping out of Arjun Gulabs Nissan nextto your camp at 0600am on new years day,


Playing pool twister with a bunch of SA chicks and getting blasted on amarula they supplied.


piling into any arb bakkie that came past so you could get a lift to Windosr diesel, Caribea bay or "Breezes"

[Greenballs]

It was a great spot. Took a dive later on though. Usaully stayed at Breezer time shares! Mupane- walking around and knowing half the camp site- each turn happened with a different song blarring, the pool always had floaties (tatty). No one drank normally from glasses- it had to be a chigubu of sorts!

[sally]

charara -new years was good there!!


lower zambezi- its stunning there


kariba- who doesnt enjoy kariba???!!!

[Greenballs]

Those parties they used to have at Carribea bay in the earlier days... on the beach. Those were wild!!

[FerrariSucks]

Loved Kariba on the houseboat, Tsetse Island and Sinyati Gorge good fishing spots.


Cleveland Dam near Jaggers on the way out to Ruwa.


Leopard Rock for a bit of gambling

[biffon]

Cleveland dam - - do you know that that place is the only place left in zim - well - was the the only place in zim where you could catch trout, black bass, smallmouth bass, bream, barbel and bluegill


The trout died out cause they couldnt breed (too warm)but I know Gary Jarvis caught a couple of smallmouth there. and bluegill were known to be in there as well


yes Smallmouth bass & bluegill (like in the US of A) - a bit of fishing trivia for you all


ok here are some more "A" class spots -


Mana Pools,


Matopos,


Darwendale fishing -outstanding!


Mazvikadei waterskiing & Spearfishing for those massive Nilo's that look like dinner plates

[Greenballs]

A bit of a fisheman huh? I used to enjoy fly fishing... so much cleaner and you're always active. Especially on rivers- difficult to get our rod around the trees and shrubs! Good fun & feels like you really deserve the catch!

[TiGeR]

Mana pools is still STUNNING! spent 4 wks going along the river from Kazungula above the falls, through VF, Binga, lower Zambezi fishing camps, Bumi hills, Matusadona, Sanayati gorge &Kariba Dec. 2004 for my Zim farewell...just wanted to weep when it all ended...

[Greenballs]

Must have been some trip!

[TiGeR]

it was EPIC man! The sound of roaring lions at nite, the sunsets on the river, the fishing, the humour, the people, rafting, abseiling, camping, braaing & enjoying the copper sunsets over a few quiet ones...

[Greenballs]

Good photie chap! We don't do too much fishing here unfortunately. Got a small damn on our factory premises which we do use sometimes for weekend braais... good fun for the kids... as just small bream types- palm size in general. However, they've got this wierd game fish here, which we're going to go and try for after winter up north. It's called a snake head fish & grows to about 30lbs.

[TiGeR]

What about Barramundi in Oz Biff? I hear its abit of afighter but not good eating?

[biffon]

snake head are legend mate - i would love to catch one - I would also love to hit a barra or two but there are other good fish up north of perth that i would also die to lay into -


Queenfish, Barra, Mangrove jacks, threadfin salmon, Spanish Mackeral etc...





Barra is actually very good eating tiger... it is almost exactly the same as eating Nile perch & that is expensive meat in SA

[TiGeR]

Well then i guess i'd better go there some day & try some...funny you mention Nile perch- had some for dinner the other nite @ a swanky work function in Sandton...YUMMY!

[Poison]

How about Mermaids Pool.


Sliding down those rocks and hitting Humphrey and getting buzzed off the tube or just hurting your anus?

[Shayne]

Hell. That brings back memories.

ya those rocks were fucking hard if you slid down the wrong way...


gave new meaning to ring sting!

man i also remember one girl that got cut up quite bad from a broken beer bottle.

[Poison]

MMMMM.. that must have been painful being cut up like that..

[calmc]

Does this sort of thing bring back any memories for people? The lamp post blunder was not far from my house.
