thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing once again a great rr.  Missed your reports.  :deal: 

You are spot-on concerning the road conditions in Nam.  We also noticed the bad road conditions compared to previous trip.  It gets worse every year.  :eek7:

Thanks once again, a decent Nam trip is always a highlight.  :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

Another lekker ride from you ... Thanks!

"Also when i was last here they gave me a bit of grief about taking a motorcycle in but luckily i used my charm  :ricky: to get in ........also took some pictures with the then guards ..........."

I recall reading your '14 RR and this was the inspiration for Allen and I to do the Skeleton Coast a year later, and yes, the roads are nearly not worth it North of Helmering, such a pity but so be it.

Thanks for sharing.  Nice to read a RR from you - always worth it  :thumleft:

Keep them coming  :biggrin:

Thanks Mother, that haul from Otji to Springbok is impressive in one Day. On a lighter Note, my first Trip from our Farm in Maltahohe to Swakopmund was in 1961 on the back of a Ford V8 Bakkie and the road was in worse Condition then. 
The Traffic from Tourism has overwhelmed their Capacity I guess. I is unreal to see so many People at that Picture at the Tropic of Capricorn.

Great report.
Graders are on the red data list as CITES - in danger of imminent extinction in Namibia is what I experienced when we toured there last year.
I did see one I have to admit!

yes i wasnt paying attention but took the wrong line ........was more focused on the 4x4 tourist ahead of me.......luckily nothing serious and we all had a good laugh

After our easy day at Ai Ais the plan was to head north and camp on the Farm Aubures which i have done many times over the years

the route took us to Seeheim then Helmeringshausen and finally Auberes farm which is between Helmeringshausen and Betta

crossing a small river just before Seeheim i got caught out in the moss

the front end just went hows your father and before i knew i was on my arse

This cement slab claimed my MCL, ACL and meniscus exactly this time last year. Boot got stuck in the fall and upper body twisted. I have it on Go Pro, but haven't been able to watch it.

Nice trip Mother!
