We have been riding in the Richtersveld for many years on adv bikes but never on the plastics. So this time we took the 500's and went on a 5 day recce ride. The idea was to hunt for undiscovered and interesting (I call them "jewels") tracks and paths and boy did we find the most amazing riding.

I am gonna start doing guided trips in the Richtersveld and this recce trip proved extremely successful.
The riding is a combination of dry riverbeds and some open flowing sections most of them in proper sandy sections with the occasional lekker semi technical thrown in just to keep us on our toes.
This is a photo report.
