Read on: http://sprules69.blogspot.com/2011/11/n ... -2011.htmlWhat started off an invitation to Cathy Morris’ 50th birthday party in Etosha rather quickly developed into an opportunity to explore the Northern Cape and Namibia. Having acquired a LR Defender 130 Td5 last year, and having had a cab put on the back ealier this year, there was a sudden mad rush to get the vehicle ready for a 3 week trip! I decided to make an extended trip of it, hoping to explore the Norther Cape and Southern Namibia before the party. With Dena (the wife) unable to join me due to work commitments, and my regular travelling partner Heine only able to join me a week or 2 after I planned to leave, the preparation took on new urgency, having to travel alone for a while. After many late nights (and much cursing and threats at suppliers) I was eventually ready to leave!
