Wish I had taken my pith helmet to Indonesia, seems quite fitting.
Superb Patrick.
As ever, thank you for sharing such magical moments with us. A few of those photos are truly iconinc. One event I love to hear about.
Please pass on out thanks to Bruno.
I watched 'The history of safari' on TV the other day and the Happy Valley set were mentioned.

Sounds like fun. 2500 miles, That's a long safari - Kings Solomans mines!!! and did you have pith helmet on? or tweed hat, sporting favourite dry flies!!! ;)
I think button or wooden toggle fastening would be better, velcro can collect the debris and mud - making it less effective, thinking of my fishing jacket at times ;-)
Looking forward to see photos of your tent used in situ, Paddy. - Perhaps a Renault style safari camp as opposed to glamping :-)
Paddy could you sew a zip around the bottom and groundsheet so you can choose to remove the ground sheet and have the sides up if you wish - may not be possible...
What ho Old Sarge, how did you get on with the poster?
I had a go but I want to try and use mine as a print for a T. With that t-shirt print computer transfer you can buy. I touched out the movie camera's too from the Gunga Din part.
Sorry old chap, but I guess like Allan Quatermain, the red soil of Africa runs through your veins....but I'm pleased you have such happy memories and dreams. :eusa_clap
