We stayed overnight at the Lesedi Cultural Village. It it s real cultural experience showing the village life of the Basotho, Ndebele, Pedi, Xhosa & Zulu people. We were treated to a tribal dance show and "Nyama Choma" the greatest African feast where we sampled traditional dishes from around the African continent.
* Wharncliffe Woods
Someone has clearly objected to the closure of the accommodation crossing though its not hard to bypass the gate where the tree is, this likes like an impact from a vehicle of some sot as the gate is made of galvanised steel. Not quite sure where a vehicle would go once the permission of the signaller at Woodburn Junction had been obtained as at the other side there's nothing but a steep, wet, rocky, narrow path up into the woods, which joins Plank Gate which is the main thoroughfare through the woodland from Wortley to Oughtibridge. Leading the set back down-grade and almost recognisable as a blue livery, is 37402, ex-D974, 'Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954 - 8.6.2013' with 'B.R. Large Intercity Logo' and at the back now, 37419, ex-D6991, 'Carl Haviland 1954-2012' at the back in 'B.R. Intercity Livery' are on the section, 3Z13, which will take them south to Woodburn Junction and then on east to Gainsborough Central. The gradient up into the wood can be seen to the right of the loco and its not the terrain for vehicular traffic though one sees many an ATB group hurtling down through the woods, in the early evening darkness, aiming for Plank Gate one assumes and the easy accesses at north and south; a single light was spotted coming down towards here, last night around 17:30, must have been quite spooky.. One of the Woodhead Line's 3 transformer/rectifier buildings was in this area, just about 500m north of here and although the concrete building and ts ancillary transformer supports are still extant, along with a small cabin, it was stripped out during the closure period in the early 1980s. Nothing of the innards remains and it has also been graffiti'd and legend has it that it was in use for a while as an ideal location for Rave parties in the 1990s, though how they all got to the location, as there is no road or easy public access, I am not sure, maybe it didn't matter, see a description of the building and a light engine DRS route learner move, here-

Temporary student accommodation, Stavangerweg, Houthavens, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2005. Architecture by hvdn architecten.
Pending the development of the Houthavens, these prefabricated units were expected to stay in this former dockland area for about five years. The blocks were supposed to be dismantled to be rebuilt elsewhere in the city.
The Netherlands - Harlingen
The regional port of Harlingen is located at the Wadden Sea. About twenty years ago Harlingens' almost 100 years old lighthouse was turned into a bed and breakfast accommodation, with a panoramic view on village, harbour and Wadden Sea. Over the VHF radio-telephone in the lantern room visitors can listen to the professional radio traffic between ships' crews and the harbour authorities.
