So I have just spoken to AJ. He was in serious planning mode. The intention is to leave Kang in the morning for Takachu, a total of about 147Km. He was calling to get the most "tech savvy", (his words), person to check google maps for the exact distances they have to travel. He couldn't calculate the distances on the map as not all the places are there. He said the next two days are "rather daunting". We need to stick with them everybody!
Go check it out - Put the view into satellite mode and see if you can spot ANYTHING between the two
They will over-nite in Takachu and then travel to Tshootsha the next day. Once again they will be doing about 143Km. (have a look at this on google earth as well there is even less between these two).
AJ is in a bit of a panic about the distances especially since there is no water available on the road he says they may get some really Brak (salty) borehole water in Takachu, I hope he is exaggerating. Thing is they can only carry 18kg = 18 litres with them.
On the 20th of November 2011 my nephew and his girlfriend left Grahamstown on an epic bike ride to Windhoek. This ride covered more than 2000 km's, over three countries in 20 days. This is that story. Grahamstown, Bedford, Cradock, Middelburg, Hanover, Phillipstown, Orania, Hopetown, Kimberley, Warrenton, Vryburg, Ganyesa, Bray, Werda, Khakhea, Bulukubalo, Morwametsi, Kang, Thootsa, Buitepos, Gobabis, Witvlei, Seeis, Windhoek!
This is the bit we were all worried about!
ReplyDeleteLuckily mom sent some of her purification drops- the one's you used for the Himalaya Trekking!
Abe must know his mother well- he did not say anything about worrying to me...........I read in Riaan Manser's book that he actually stopped cars to ask for water- I know Abe will have thought out something- he has his Karin to take care of as well!
