HELLO just joined the forum.did more or less the same route in 1996 except we went straight from rooidrom into the marienfluss and up van zyls pass.the meanest pass i have ever attemped and will never again except on a ktm 450 mx bike--did it on a AT 750 loaded for touring with no back-up cars.i do not think anybody on a DS bike have ever done the pass from the east to the west.will be interesting to know ??? the rest of the bikes were a supertenere,BMW 1000 GS,650 Dominator.

Hi Lucky. Nice report. Net n regstelling. Baron Herman von Wolff het Dowiseb Kasteel gebou en daar geboer met perde en skaap. Hy was getroud met n Amerikaanse vrou met baie geld. Hy is egter gedeporteer vanuit Suid-Wes Afrika en is terug Duitsland toe en sy vrou na USA. Hy is dood in die Eerste Wereld oorlog. Meeste van die meubels van die kasteel is in Windhoek in n museum. Wens ek was so goed met n rekenaar soos jy dan kan ek my trips ook opsit.

Browsed the ride reports and saw that I never posted my pics of our Nam Ban trip. So here goes. Better late than never. Sorry boys. Promise never to do it again

The steeds wait patiently

She never let my down in 30 000 km

While the others went straight to Soususvlei via the main road I rode this back road and bumped into this Gemsbok who kept me company for a few scare km. He kept running rond and bont across the road.

Luxery in the middle of nowhere â?? La mirage desert lodge and spa

Stunning adventure ride and report which was absolutely captivating.

This is the first time that I have noticed in a ride report, that GPS coordinates have been included with the photo's. 

Someone like myself and other overseas visitors, who visit the site and who have no idea where half these places are can look them up on Mapsource.

Well Done
