Post by LesseW »

Hi all,

We will be doing a road trip to springbok and onwards, we will spend 2 nights in the Springbok area.

Has anyone done a 4x4 shipwreck route yet close to Springbok?

Springbok is 100km from the sea, must have been one hell of a storm if there is a shipwreck near Springbok...

Manny, “n goeie begrip het n halwe woord nodig”.

Driving 200km in that area is nothing. If one of your cousins has a lekker Porra Slap tjips restaurant close by, kindly share his location.

I have done most of the Shipwreck route in the years before it were a 4x4 trail. It is between Kleinzee and Koingnaas
These days it is a guided trail. You need to book to drive it. Did part of it last year again. Not really challenging but very nice scenery.
Most of these tweespoorpaadjies close to see had their origin from old police patrols. Were made by Series Landies.
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D

For real dune fun you can contact SuperHansie he usually camp at McDougalls Bay and take the guys to dunes close to that of the Namib near Port Nolloth.
