For those of you who have the opportunity do stop over at the Seeheim Hotel an absolute treat...... 8) 8)

[GO GIRL]

All in all an AWSUM trip an amazing experience.. 8) 8) 8) 8)

Learnt a lot a just realise just how much more there is to learn

Hope all have enjoyed reading the RR there are still a lot of pics but I think I have given the essence and crux of an amazing trip

An for those who have had a bad experience wrt previous Nam Des Runs.....as a complete novice to this.....I must say that I experienced a well organised trip 

It also has to do with the planning and getting away early from the quads before they start the rest is up to you (I think) as an individual to create the opportunity to enjoy that what you experience at the given point in time....

I would happily jump back onto my Beast ............. I mean I have only done 1950kms and want MORE

Awesome Debbie!!!!  Great to see your determination and all the fun and achievement you were rewarded with. Keep up the Joy of Life. I am sure all who read the report have a lot of respect for you and envy you and the other guys for all the good times you had.

 

[Saaakie]

Just awesome, brillliant!!

Now my house mates also want to do the run. We'll study your report.
Thanks for all the great  and exciteting Info. Respect x 10!!

 

[GO GIRL]

;D ;D ;DGee guys THANK YOU all I wanted to do was have fun and I got buckets full of it ..... 8)

There's a saying that goes "Girls just wanna have fun"  I had no idea that this experience would reach out to you all....

Learnt a lot about technical stuff in the process...that stuff that us girls normally stay away from....like the tyres
the type, the pressure of the tyres , riding skills, 'how to'throw'this machine into the corners, how to 'throw'your body around the bike. how to 'blip'the throttle (still learniing) and a whole lot more....

All in all an AWSUM experience and above all as Tok Tokkie says a Life Altering experience and it just comes down to Living and the Joi de Vivre 8) 8) 8)
