This was a trip I joined Andy on as pillion, to keep him company. He was doing research work for a client’s project. It was necessary to head off to Port Nolloth for 1st-hand appraisal of their food supply chain processes. So on time and in good Spirits on Andy’s 1150GSA took us off at 06h00 from a dark and blustery Gordon's Bay towards Port Nolloth. Yup- this was a rush so it was a road trip. Up and down in two days - 1600 kilos round trip!! We hit rain from just before Stellenbosch all the way to Wellington. You know the feeling.... do you stop and don wet-weather gear or hope it ends soon? I spotted good definition in the distance indicating no more rain, so we pushed on regardless of the drizzle and rain. But I tell you, it was blerrie cold! About 3°C Andy's Data Centre little gadget kept telling us (one of his many gadgets he carries with him). I think I had 3 jackets on altogether – dressed like a true Michelin Man.
