Description: the roads as well in something called sheet erosion which is a really big problem due to overgrazing so too many animals in an area losing ground cover leads to sheet erosion which eventually leads to very very unmanageable areas when the sheets erosion turns into gully donga

Robert Baden-Powell

It is often useful, if an enemy happens to see you, to pretend that you have not seen him. Or it may sometimes be useful to pretend that you have other men with you. I did this once in the Boer War when, having crept up a donga to look at a Boer fort, I was seen by the enemy, and they came out to capture me.
