Superbly written and lovely pics - followed the story in the Drive Out Magazine. Just a question - where did you get the bash plate from ? It looks really cool.

Cheers, Tony.

Hi Tony

It is a plate that was made by one of the forum members, Peter Connan.

Hi Traveler
What a epic trip. Beautifull photo's, it really give you a sense of the landscape. I bought a 2004 4.8 GRX last month with only 120 000 km on the clock for R115 000 and are like a little child with a toy. The wife and i will do our first 4x4 trip to Lesotho over the long weekend in Desember. Going up Sani's Saturday morning and sleeping at Sani top Sat eve. On Sunday we travel to Katse dam to sleep over there and Monday back to Bloem.
Cheers
