DAY 10: Palmwag to Brandberg The Blood Sand day… One of the tips Kamanya kept repeating was: Ride virgin sand, make your own tracks. So naturally when we reached the blood sand, this sentiment was repeated. We were also told to look out for aardvark holes… I probably missed 99, but no. 100...

DAY 8: Marble Camp to Purros Sand glorious sand and then some more sand… Like everybody said previously: if you couldn’t ride sand before the trip, you sure would be able to after! I was quite comfortable with sand and didn’t mind the odd stretch here and there, but 40-60km of it…well it...

Sorry, no.

I 100% agree with you. The DCT really comes into it's own once you take it (proper) off-roading!

It was Janco, Hardy's 4x4 instructor, Jaco was an on-looker...

DAY 7: Van Zyls Camp to Marble Camp The day arrived for Van Zyls Pass and The Step. Getting there was a challenge on its own... rocks, sand and heat. We stopped at a lookout before getting to the pass and this was my "Quest moment". Standing there looking out over the the Marienfluss, thinking...

You're welcome to Mark. :thumleft:

DAY 6: Epupa Falls to Van Zyls Camp We were up bright and early to get going with the challenging day that was lying in wait...and it was some glorious riding!  :ricky: Like Hardy stated above: rocks, sand and high temperatures were the order of the day for the next 2 days. These 2 days were...

DAY 5: Opowo to Epupafalls This was the hottest day of the trip; max temp on my bike peaked at 49 degrees while standing still and 42 while riding! But the scenery took your mind off all of that. Our 1st stop for the day was what is now Ehomba Combined School, but in the "Grensoorlog" days...

DAY 4: Palmwag to Opowo The day started with our normal ritual but with the added event of our first scored pre-ride inspection. Some teams even brough a proper check-list... Our next stop was Opowo. Enroute we saw some girraffe, springbok and gemsbok. We also went through the Baobab Forest...

DAY 3: Spitzkoppe to Palmwag The next morning we packed up camp, setup our bikes, did pre-ride inspections on the bikes, had breakfast, packed the IVECO, had our ride briefing and fell in the road to our next destination. This would be our daily morning ritual for the next 2 weeks. Just...

DAY 2: Windhoek To Spitzkoppe The beers from the previous night did the trick and I slept like a log; didn't hear any snoring... Everybody was rearing to go and ready to leave for Honda well before the stipulated time. At Honda everybody grabbed the first bike that he/she fancied as we would...

Being part of an event like Quest is really a dream come true and to eventually be chosen as a winner from all the deserving competitors (all friends now) is truly indescribable ang a huge honour! But then you read the RR on the other website... All I can say is: Thanks to all the support Tyre...

I barely ride the GS as it is. No use having 2 in the garage (my wife says)...
