Race Dog
Morning all,
I am planning a trip through the northern parts of Namibia. I have read up on all the honourable reports for information, made contact with lodges and is gathering info in my off time (During work time :spitcoffee: when I should be working!! 8) 8))
I will be using the platform to acquire as much new info on the routes as possible. I was thinking of doing the same on the 4x4 community forum but me being a bigger adventure motorcycle rider than a 4x4 adventurer, wilddogs won
I will take it step by step, so please feel free to chip in with information, suggestions negative and positive. I am here to learn through other peoples experience if they feel like sharing.
Also I am a boertjie so I buy just so much English airtime to last me a month. If it is depleted then be patient I will buy again next month!! :imaposer: :imaposer:
Dates still undetermined, but looking at the beginning of June 2021
Duration about 14 days
