NJ MORE Field Guide College trainees and staff have their say.

I spent four days with this group of trainees as they
worked towards completing their Trails module.
I chatted to some of them about why they were at the College,
and where they hoped to be in 2016.
This is what they shared with me…

Although Anke seemed to be in a contemplative mood in this picture,
she an I chatted quite a lot.
The rehabilitation centre that she mentions in the sound clip
is the Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre near Hartebeespoort Dam.

This is Thato at the ORT branch of Europcar.
What a nice young man…service with a smile.
I had no idea where the car rentals were at the airport,
and despite some confusing ACSA signage
I eventually found what I was looking for.
I had requested a Stepway which was ready and waiting for collection.
To date, all my interactions with this company have been
fast, efficient and very friendly.
Time to head North…well NW actually…
