hours and with great care for the following reasons:
Our roads are not fenced and animals demand right of way.
There are potholes which you cannot avoid if you are
travelling at speed.
There are many small dirt tracks leading from the feeder
roads, so one can get lost in the dark.

Be alert for reckless drivers.
