Pay It Forward
We’ve sent a few nights in Windhoek and not gone anywhere so if some other traveller wants to tell me I should have gone “here” or “there”, don’t bother please. Its just another town/city and we’ve walked around a bit and…
Green Mile
So the camp at Mile 4 was cancelled. They lied outright on the phone. It was more expensive and there was a charge for the car. Out of principal we told them to stick it. So we camped on the street…
On Stranger Tides
So after a few days of driving, arguments and lacking campsite choice we have arrived in one tourist mecca in Namibia, Swakopmund. We are currently sat in The Tug which Ian (TrundlingJack) wil...
Cast Away
This is a tenuous link to a film. Our freind Henning has been in Kenya for a few months having found love. He’s back on he road. So since Tom Hanks’ famous quote from the film shouting “Wilson!” when he…
Wine By The Bucket
This made us both laugh…..wine is cheap in South Africa so I suppose you need to do something to stand out. The french wouldn’t approve as no doubt this is a protected brand.I can honestly say they do…..and usually right infront…
Bearing Witness
Another vehicle maintenance day today with what could be described as a full service. First to the problem areas. The rear nearside wheel bearing was loose, AGAIN. So it needed a full strip. This reveals a worn stub axle and…

Cats And Dogs
So we went to Etosha and as per normal, you guessed it, nothing. Nothing worth the trip at least although one little fella did make he day. Not very often you see these…or those. This cat was a highligh. Caracal to the…
Waterworld 2only Joking
If anyone is interested in the Map we are considering selling the service. So any Overlanders planning a trip drop me a line and we can discuss it further. Obviously its not going to be free and to update it every…
Fresh From The Slab
How many poses are there for this venue….Hoba Meteor. One of the largest in the world evidentially. Not so sure its actually a Meteor myself. If its only 80,000 years old where’s the massive crater ? Now theres a calculator…
Waterworld
No its not been raining here. Hope all you lot in the UK are staying dry. We’ve not seen rain much on this trip. In fact we have had about 7 instances of rain in the entire 9 months so…
Mad Max Beyond Botswana Not Starring Mel Gibson Or Tina Turner
So we arrived at Namibia which for the film buffs in the house is where they are filming Max Max. Not sure who's in this one but it might be us if the recent Mission Impossible was any indicat...

Matilda Gets Some Bling
