Three weeks of bliss without Haboob around
Edge and swambo departed today for a three week overland trip to Namibia.Lucky buggers.At least I wont be forced to join him in his tooting binges and thus my liver can recover.Jokes aside,the buggers are spending 3 weeks in Namibia and hopefully he will post a great trip report with many fotos on his return, as swambo aint lazy with the camera.Wish them Godspeed and trouble free kilos.

Three weeks of bliss, Tony? .... More like you'll be pining for your bud before the first week is done!
Hope the bugger remembers how to post pics when he gets back!

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: Three weeks of bliss without Haboob around
I could have been with him on this trip if it was not for the elections. :evil: have to work. You are going to miss him Tony three weeks could be a long time. Hope he has a good trip. I will now be going just after he has returned.

Both upstanding guys - better friends one couldn't wish for, but lordy do they both have serious verbal diarrhoea! Sjoe! If you think Edge is bad, you should (or rather should not) experience them together!Thunder02 wrote:Tony,when Edge came up to JHB,we had a braai and i know how you feel

Re: Three weeks of bliss without Haboob around
All good things come to an end.Edge is back after a very long and exciting trip with many fotos thanks to Viv.Great to have my bud back( I had no one to rag and swambo was getting fed up with having to substitute for him).Watch this space for a trip report which should be posted hopefully soon.

Re: Three weeks of bliss without Haboob around
Hi to all that were happy to see me go. Back and still trying to recover. Spent the day relaxing after doing a taxing 7 500 km's with some awesome scenery and very bad roads. Had to do some road building to get out the valley of Desolation. Other bad roads were below van Zyls and Kunene River. In some places we saw no living sole in a whole days travel. Divorce pass was a good but rocky track to drive on. It was steep but even and done in the late afternoon, when one is already tired and looking for a place to camp. We were going to do it back again, but SWAMBO found the road to Rhino Sancruary, so we took that as it looked OK and we had already driven up Divorce pass, so it seemed pointless doing it the other way again, when there was a shorter, but more corregated road back to the Rhino sanctuary. Good time was had and a new experience was had travelling alone. There are the dngers of being stuck in the middle of nowhere alone, if you do get car problems without help. Damaraland does have the best sceneries, with the second river bed otherside Sesfontein and below Purros with the rain and water, also a bit nerve wrackink.
I will see when I will be able to get pitches to Andy to assist with a trip report, but he still has not put in a section for me about the different canopy kitchens that I have had, so I do not know how far this trip repoert will get...
Just now I get the monniker of "Bullshit Bertie" just because I don't know how to use a post pictures on a tablet.
