12 SeriousFun@JFFC FEBRUARY 2018

We eventually made it to Mokhotlong in southern Lesotho. It’s a busy little town where we spent an adventurous hour or so buying Maluti’s and tracking down the local headman to ask permission to camp and fish in his domain (?). Eventually we arranged an audience with Ntate Thebane at his office at the back of a dark administrative building. Our two minute meeting simply ended with a hand shake and him decreeing that we should “camp in peace”. Done. Unfortunately that was where the excitement ended as we fished hard and blanked hard on the Mokhotlong River. Picked a stunning campsite though.

When you blank but it’s ok… really
