I forgot to mention that the SAKKS pond safaris are open to the public!!!!

So you dont need to be a SAKKS member to come to the pond safaris and you also dont need to be a SAKKS member if you wish to share your pond with us.

Everyone are welcome.

GPS details of the three ponds:

53 Malgas, Table View
33,50,11s
18,30,8e

37 Kensington Close, Table View
33,49,0s
18,30,18e

23 Oryx str, Durbanville
33,49,42s
18,40,37e

Dankie paul, how soek jy die gps coords op?

Ek het 'n garmin nuvi 250W

Ek kan met my GPS search/adres/show on map en dan details

Of op internet
gaan na http://maps.google.co.za/
Sit die adres in onder Search, byvoorbeeld 53 Malgas street
Zoom in
regsclick op die spesifieke posisie
Click "What's here"
click op groen pyltjie (as hy nie verskyn, zoom in)
dan kry jy dit in grade en in desimale formaat

Jy kan ook die grade formaat "convert" na desimale formaat of andersom op http://www.123marbella.net/gps.coordinates/

'n GPS gee gewoondlik die grade formaat en kaarte die desimale formaat.

Kyk hoe word ek alweer gedreig deur die "Don"

Thank you to all who opened their ponds for viewing and to Wayne who organised the safari.

And, a big thank you to Henk for giving everybody some brine shrimp and a bottle of Sludge away and Ammonia/Nitrite reduction.



Henk and Gerald from this forum import these products and have a large range of interesting pond products available. If you are interested, please send them a PM.

Also thanks to Quinton who provided boerewors rolls and beverages afterwards.



The safari was a great success.

heya guys!

was great to have everyone here. i was a bit shell shocked when the cars started to pull up!

Great to see so many of you

Paul, Wayne's new camera does not do your Koi justice, maybe he should have looked at a Canon



Mr Pedro very pensive!

I have to agree, this was the first SAKKS pond safari in the western cape in 3 years and i think it went down very well. We had a very good attendace and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the outing.

If there is anyone in the western cape that want to show their pond please contact me. Please also feel free to send me some positive suggestions.

Wayne
