December on the Nile

Post by Shane »

Just came back from three days on the Nile. Sun burnt and aching sore as I should be. I'll get more up soon, but here are a few pics. Rod and reel "collecting" for barbs.

Quite spectacular & makes my recent trips along the Avon & Cherwell seem decidedly bland :wink:

Keep up the great work :thumbsup:
