Ja Lunar, ongelooflike ervaring - en baie pret!

Ja, Wittes was ons toerleier. Daar was 6 recoveries op die trip - 5 deur 1 voertuig, onder andere ook die gids uitgehelp. Ook dieselfde voertuig wat al die hindernisse klaar gemaak het en nooit vasgesit het nie ;-)

MBT kamera. My Nikon D80 het op dag 1 die gees gegee, en toe vir die eerste keer in jare het ek en die videokamera weer vriende geraak. Baie geleer - ek het hom stewig op die snorkel vasgemaak - nie eers n millimeter geskuif nie. MAAR, toe vind ek uit die kamera skakel af in die ry :think: Toe die trippie amper verby is vind ek uit die kamera het n 'fail-safe shutdown' om die hardeskyf te beskerm. So, ek het een great clip waar ek by die oerse styl duin uitvaar met die 4.8 enjin wat mooi brul. Dit is nou ongelukkig op die trip DVD = 6.5 Gb.
