Wow, car is clean, most scratches removed, Richtersveld and the Eco route was some adventure, but my shit luck at The road to hell, made it even more memorable. Yet I loved every minute of this entire trip.

I'm sure you were all glad for good radio comms during that section and the recovery.

A few hand held radios on the same frequencies could have helped the spotters. I have 2 if they are needed in the future.

We used hand helds & the ORRA fixed radios.
Radio Comms were outstanding....

I was able to make contact with Manny on my way out. According to my GPS 40km away.
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D

The Hand Held Orra Radios proved the usefulness of comms while doing the Recovery
