Yep ja - when it comes to mud and ice - no no! But thanks for the motivation anyway After Alfie and the Sani ride it seems i am ok now with rock and sand!  :ricky:
Stone throwing - maybe wasn't that bad for us - could have been worse and maybe we were lucky. But hell - its scary when you see the masses of kids on the hills and you dont know what coming - specially if you see them bending down ....

Nice report. Sorry to hear about the stones though. I was thrown at point blank range coming out of Lesotho near Sterkspruit. I now carry a catapult very handily placed for quick access. Hopefully returning fire will make them think twice about their idea of 'fun'.

TKC's / Anakees - whatever - i call them dual purpose tires. Mine was fine for the trip. Just commit, pick your line ... open up, look up and go! The stone throwing is not so serious - you only need to kind of slow down as if they think you are giving them something - then speed off! It happens mostly in the small villages specially where the kids are standing on the hills at their schools. Its more serious with vehicles because they have a bigger target and they do dent / damage the vehicles. Thanks to everyone for all your nice comments ....

Thanks for all your nice comments. I would love to spend more time in Lesotho - perhaps next year.
