Night ride in Atlantis, Sunday 7th

[Michiel]

I'm always up for a jaunt to Atlantis and when I saw Kamanya and the likes off heading that way for
a so called "night ride" I got scared.The only remedy was to drag Dustdevil along. We went a bit earlier
and spent some time watching the drifting and burn-outs at that old railway yard near the Atlantis entrance.
I even got some of the action first hand as a passanger in a car without any seats nor trimmings driven by
a really drunk Rasta. He did that thing where they jump out the window while the car is spinning around and
walk away only to jump back in a while later... Obviously I was screaming like a girl... Wow! That was fun.
Will start nagging Dustdevil to put the video up.

Like Etienne warned, the sand was soft as ever. We made it in though without too much of a struggle.

I've seen many sunrises in Atlantis but seeing the sun set was totally worth the effort. Such a tranquil atmosphere.

Since it was a night ride I didn't really make the effort to take pictures although I only thought of it now that
one can probably create really cool images using long exposures. Dustdevil and I made a early exit as I did't
fancy the idea of actually fooling around in there at night, on a Sunday, having to work at the salt mines the
next morning.

Looking at the tracks left, guess who is the heaviest rider? And the lightest?

Pieter Badenhorst from PhotoHire calls us fatty and skinny...  ;D

It looked like we weren't the only ones who struggled on the way out?

I would definitely do it again, if you don't mind waiting for me again. Plus, how else would I get better if I don't practice?

Ok, I quickly put together the clip. Here goes...
