Bucket List

A solo trip and a visit to the Karoo farmers that shared my school boarding years have been in my sights for a long time. This years’ annual OBU get-together near De Aar seemed the perfect opportunity.  A couple of ronds worth of new toys, including a Garmin to replace my atlas photostats, new back tyre and a qualified mechanical once over, were the least I could do to ensure I was going to be a safe as possible.

Andy's "trip teaser" on the forum was very tempting: 

'A Must-Do trip on your calendar," he said. "OFF ROAD. You can dream you went on it, wish you were on it or you can book and get onto the trip."

True to form, the trip filled up very quickly.

As always, Andy delivered on the promise: We had it all - sun, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, hail (yep, the hard white stuff), slippery mud, sand, rocky ascents, smooth gravel, loose gravel and more.
