The project is called 'Patrin' which is the Gypsy name for the signs left for others to follow.
I found this an interesting name & wondered how the signs worked, I assume they must be in some sort of code but then wondered how detailed they could be. This got me started about communication, nowadays with the Internet & mobile phones etc communication is easy but how did groups of Gypsies arrange to meet or tell others where they are. |

Found this "Patrin is the old word for the signposts travelling Romany Gypsies left for their travelling fellows – a bunch of twigs tied to a tree etc." http://www.tmg-uk.org/?page_id=292 |

Yes please Iron.
Can you upload it or do you need to call in a 7 year old like I do?

Africam has been going for a good few years now. I remember staying glued for hours to the pc waiting for movement at the waterhole. I never did see anything but I expect it was all down to bad timing on my part.
