Hi Mother…..am about to do a short trip to Namibia….and I will take the C13 from Ausengher to Luderitz…..can you remember the condition of the C13 …. are there any sand areas on this road. i am not experienced in sand and am going solo, so would not like a sandy surprise on this route….would really appreciate your assessment of this stretch…….
 
Great trip, report and photos! Thanks for sharing.you've put in serious effort!

hi i found the C13 between Aus and Helmeringhausen to be no too bad....the worst section with corrugations and patches of sand was as the midway point between Helmeringhausen and Betta on the C27

as i said earlier ....generally i found the roads in worse condition than i ever did before....so brushing up on the sand riding is not a bad thing
 
ps...

thanks for all the feedback .... its nice to see folks appreciate the effort in getting reports on the web....was a great experience  to share.....i recommend anyone who has not been to Namibia to certainly put it on their list of things to do


safe riding
