Andreas, I have the same idea, but I have a crazy work year with a lot of projects ahead of me, at least the Germans still see reason to invest.
I have no over landing or tour plans, planning to visit Dinokeng do some camping & represent 4x4AG in the Hankook series.

Anton Bodenstein and I are contemplating a tournament in the Cape.
Also considering doing the difficult route of Jors in the Namaqua.

3x IM 70.3 and 1x YEF 4x4, but if I can, more 4x4, but light 4x4 as I do not want to scratch my pension…

Only a Bonehead would assume that everyone knows that IM 70.3 refers to a half Iron Man -it's like Iron Man but for Binary Poefs...

Ok Porra, let me give you the chance to show whether you are a 1 or a 0 by sponsoring you to do it with me? You keen?

Wessel, I've done:
The Argus Cycle Tour
Dozens of 10km, 15km & 21.1km races (lightweight stuff).
Every major Gauteng Marathon & Ultra (Om die Dam, City to City, Sunward Striders etc. etc).
Two Oceans Marathon 3 times (The full 56km, not the poofta half marathon).
Comrades (the full 90km) when cut off was 11hours, not the millennial 12 hours you get today.

As far as running (& cycling) go, I've got nothing left to prove...

But you & Mike Nel must keep up the great work.
You are treading in the steps of giants.

Shout if you need guidance.

I’m very surprised there was record keeping of this kind in the 1500’s Manny.

But well done.
