Chiltley¶
The cows
The cows were named Kitchen and ??? Geoff and Jonathan C tried to ride the calf.
Guavas
We used to pick guavas off the trees in the orchard - they were freely available and much appreciated!
The bogey
I found a bogey in the factory. It came from one of the cane trolleys, and I decided to take it back to Chiltley to use as a barbell. I figured it would be an easy task to roll it all the way home on the railroad track which ran from the factory in Paddock all the way past Chiltley at a gentle incline. I placed it on the rails at the road crossing and started pushing it. I had to keep stopping it from running ahead because of the incline, but this became tedious after a while, so I thought I might run ahead of it and catch it further down the track.
Going camping in Oribi Gorge with Peter Holmes in his short-wheel-base Landrover
Peter collected us at the C residence and drove us to the Gorge. We trekked into the Gorge and eventually found a cliff with a massive overhang which we decided to use as our camp. We built a fire as darkness was falling then picked out places to bed down and sat around cooking something to munch, then we chatted away until we fell asleep.
