WC - 6 day trip to the Richtersveld

[Camelman]

A BIG thanks to Crossed-up, Dangerous Dave and Andy660 for letting me tag along.  :3some: Was one of the greatest rides ever. As soon as Andy's finished with his RR, I'll post mine with pics. I'll work on the video over the weekend!

Now Dave tells me he's got to have some titanium pins in his ankle because the crack is in an awkward spot.  :'(
He has to have an op on Monday.  Good luck, mate.  I hope you make a record-breaking recovery.

Mind you, titanium pins are just what we need for the front of Dave's Dakkie.  ;D
