Well done to yet another outstanding performance of the JS1!!
In Nitra only a few days left in the Europeans and in Germany the International Military starts on Monday (a working week for the rest of us) Good luck to Ulf Dallmann, Volker Fiebig and Benno Beesten - OLC shows that they have all been training.

In summary - Saturday may just offer the opportunity to do Renosterhoek and back - i don't know that it has been done in July yet? Perhaps wave outbound and ridge running back? Any takers?
