Foz is still a long way from the beach, and the beach was where we wanted to be. So we set off about fourish on a very windy track in the sand.

Across the river in Namibia were these cabins. Apparently something to do with mining, but of more interest, and apparently not quite on the photos, were the huge dunes. Now THAT looks like a trip worth looking into.

Every trip has milestones, and this beach was one of ours. We'd got there! There seemed to be slimmest chance a few days back that that would actually happen, so cause for much celebration all round. And commiseration for our fallen comrade. He would have been loving this more than life itself. What on earth was he up to right now?

A few little portraits for our eager readers... first up your favourite little person (with Buttercup in the background):

And in an ode to fallen comrades, the bivvy he had made, huddled down behind a sand dune, doing its best to protect us from the fierce, cold Atlantic sea-breeze that was threatening a very uncomfortable night:

I waved it away as if nothing had happened and explained to the chief, in a language that he didn't understand, that the Midge suffers from sarcoidosis and that he should just ignore him.

Don’t let the complexity of that word fool you. It’s from the Latin
'särˈkastik' and the French 'doo-wis' and it’s extremely contagious in camel populations.

Things are eerily quiet on this here thread. Are we boring you poor people into a gentle coma??

My mother always said, if a man is content with his food, then he is quiet and leave him be. Skryf en ons sal lees. We are all reading and being green with envy, so, please get this RR going.  :thumleft:

always nice to "feel" a ride report, feeling part of it more than a nuisance spectator.

please keep it coming

I recommend abuse, rather than requests, pleading or cajoling. A nice, big, strong stick to that lazy beast's bony rump.
 
I like the way you think....  Keep going!  The Ruacana - Foz section ranks high on my list of best rides...  Love it.  :thumleft:
