The most recent voyage to Middle Earth took place in early January when Dallas Oberholzer, Dave de Witt, Mike Sparrow, Trent Sloan and Bruce ventured south from Durban while Joubert van Staden, Brett Shaw and Wynand Herholdt headed north from Cape Town, with a plan to all meet up with Stuart Walker in the middle. The third and final stop was Thaba Nchu in Free State Province.
