Nice RR and Awsome photo's  :thumleft:
What camera did you use?
 
IMHO you must submit your pic ....058.jpg in the Wilddogs photo compo for this month.  It is awesome!  That feeling of challenge and solitude is real when you see photos like that.
Say Hi to Shane!
 
Thanks for the compliments, makes all the stopping worthwhile.

What camera did you use?.........................I used a Canon Power Shot SX10 IS . To be honest it was way too big and cumbersome and got tired of taking it out my backpack everytime I wanted to take a picture, so just hung it around my neck like a tourist (which I was I guess) Not the ideal situation.  What I like about it is the 20 x optical zoom and it takes almost an hour of video, the quality of which is far better than I expected. Had to ride holding the camera in one hand though, for the action shots and a couple of times had to drop it when things got tricky.  At times really thought I was going to video my own crash  :biggrin:
That would have been something. Have posted one video link and will post more
Shane used a Nikon coolpix L4 and also while not riding, a Nikon D70s.
 
Found a pic of an Italian Sheepdog.
Now on our way to Loeriesfontein, some of the most astounding scenery, every crest of a hill seemed better than the last and it got better and better.

We leave Loeriesfontien for Kamieskroon, again we seem to be the only two people on the planet. the scenery is breathtaking, the road is freshly graded, it seems just for us.  We ride in the graders tracks all day and don't ever even see it!
