Great report and trip - well done.

There have been a number of reports from the saddles of smaller bikes and they are eye-openers - seems you don't need the monsters to touring if you are young and strong, or just not in a great hurry.
 
Wow Sam what a wonderful trip and great RR..  :thumleft:
 
Nice Sam!!!!

HS and P are lucky to have a girl like you!!!!!

And you are VERY lucky to have them as parents!!!!!!

Awesome trip!!!!!

Great report ... I was in the Willowmore, Gariep, Graaf Reniet, Steytlerville area a couple of days after you guys on a solo gravel trip between CT and Joburg.. Also met up with Lupo and had a geyser burst. Weird huh..!
 
Those pics of wet Transkei roads brings back memories from last year.  
A few drops of rain and that road is so slippery.  
Well done Sam, your mum must be incredibly proud!

So sorry to hear about that P...

We had second worst case scenario, one trip-switch down and a defrosted deep-freeze!  Eugh!

:(
Hijack on ...
Oh no that is not good news ... phewy  :mad:

For some weird reason nothing tripped at our place  ??? ... our freezer, which is in the same room was full of frozen geyser water as well.  It could have been worse I guess & been all vrot as well .... yuk !!!

btw .... The Year can only get better  :biggrin:  ;D  :biggrin:

hijack off  ;)

Respect to you Sam.
