Our stomachs full, we headed back to Springbok.

Regrettably we were unable to ride the shipwreck route, a previous group of bikes had gone through and ridden everywhere but in the tracks they were meant to be riding in. No one wanted a repeat of this, despite our impassioned pleas.

The twisty river bed was not suited to me, anything under 30km/h in sand is HARD. So when Marc threw his bike down on a tight corner, I omitted to stop and help him up. A transgression I would pay for later.

Craig naturally found a rock to climb.

And when the thorns closed in over the sand a summit conference was called to decide on the best course of action.

Our route master felt the need to toughen us up a bit, concerned about the influence the flowers may have on us.

We turned off the road that had served us well to this point, and onto a well rutted twee spoor track.

We rode over the rise toward a large granitic intrusion, technically called an inselberg. Or as Justblipit would say - a Gomo.

Craig was desperate to give it a go.

No - down boy. Stay. There will be plenty more.
