Salalah Mobiles
We’re in the Middle East. I’ve used a bit of poetic licence in the title but it is actually a movie but based in Salala not Salalah. The flight wasn’t great with a massive wait in Dubai of 11 hours.…
Zombie Apocalypse
I saw this whilst deleting some old photos. We forget how silly it all was. The recent events in the care home where almost all the cases are from one source. A singular person gave it to over 20 seniors.…
Out of Africa…
After 5 years 9 days we are leaving Africa. You know I love flying ? the car is on a boat and we are going to meet it.
Lone Men of Namibia
We spent a long time in Namibia during and after COVID and fortunately were able to travel even during lockdown. We spent much of it in isolation in the North West looking for Lone Men (Stone Men) statues. The artist…
Earth Vs the Spider
For years we have been slightly complaisant in checking. Tonight we got the abrupt reminder. I think the last time was 2013 in Texas where Black Widows aplenty infested my mother’s tent and the camp. Tonight and since it’s an…
BlueNova EN38.3 & MSDS BN13V-108-1.4k
Not many of you will care about this post but I’m doing it so Google picks this up. It’s taken months to get these after BlueNova sent me fake documents. Finally my shipping agent IVSSUK got them for me by…
Ngala Beach Lodge
A lovely campsite on the beach of lake malawi with a lovely grassy flat area to park your truck or pitch your tent. The Ablutions are functional and the water is hot, except you need to plan your visits as…
Rwanda to Uganda – Cyanika Border Crossing
Another confusing border with some frustrations. You arrive at the first gate which is to be opened. Step 1 drive-thru the gate and park up in line with the trucks on the side of the road. Step 2 is to…
Tanzania to Rwanda – Rusomo Border Crossing
Another consolidated border crossing where you do everything on the opposite side. In this case as we were going from Tanzania to Rwanda you go over to the Rwanda side which includes a rather nice crossover in the roads as…
Wonka
Yeah Oompa Loompa orange. The driving along the Tanzanian road construction and a temporary road until we got to the perfect new tar. The hair did return to normal old man grey.
Malawi to Tanzania Border - Songwe to Kasumulu
Quite a difficult border. I have no idea how long this will be good for as the border is being consolidated into one building. At the moment its a mess with Malawi in the old building at their side and…

Clarksons Farm
A short drone shot of the camping at the Mushroom Farm in Malawi showing you how close you are to the edge. It took three or four attempts because of the trees to get the drone to go straight out…
The Hill
Stay Puff
What are the things on the back of the car you ask. Actually not just on the back of the car but all over the car and no it’s not some type of new airbag system. I have no doubt…
