Kontiki 2011 Rome

Gauteng's annual Kontiki raft competition is on at the moment. Our troop is not attending this year, but I went down for the day with my Rover Crew. The theme for this year is Rome, and one of hte more striking rafts is First Horison's chariot shown above.

For more photographs of the weekend, Joy at Akela's Cubs has a great post up. On Twitter, the organisers can be found at @KontikiGauteng, tweeting announcements for the benefit of the campers, and also some photographs of the event.

Finally, click on the image below for a VERY large panoramic view of the lake shortly after launch time this morning.
