Atlantis Dunes 7 July

Would love to but you guys are 1200km away.

One day then

Should be fun

A person wonders if the sand will still be wet after all the rain that is falling right now on the dunes? I guess the wet sand will make it a lot easier for newbies like Mike and Chris.

There’s good & bad if the sand is wet.

The most common difference between wet & dry sand is that sand doesn’t fall back into the track when wet. So the tracks get deeper & the middlemanetjie gets higher.

So in convoy the first few vehicles have an easy time but the ones behind start to run out of clearance.

Big dunes are generally easier because the sand is hard & the crest goes flat.

Debeads are as common because of the extra stress on the sidewall of the tyre when turning hard inside a track.

In the wet, I’ve had a dune collapse whilst I was driving along the flat top. That was interesting.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the Cape Town off-road fraternity for keeping Manny away from Gauteng for a weekend. We are forever indebted to you for this
