hello everyone,
counting the days,

Rhodes have confirmed our accommodation, normal B&B features applies, ie, bedding and towels supplied. Remember best to bring your own camping fridge.

it is nearly time to start your engines.

My Tuna ready for any eventuality.

Awesome Martin. You guys must buy the new SA4x4 magazine, it has a “5 passes” article. I haven’t read it but it will be a good prelude to your journey.

wow, a lot of planning, all the interest, now its upon us. This is the beginning of an annual special event.

Disco all prepped. Now to see if I can keep up with the old hands. Can't wait for departure.

We did something similar a few years ago, and the thing we battled the most was punchers on the gravel roads
Take some (or a lot) of puncher repair kits, you might need them

What tyre pressures were the guys running on the vehicles that had the problems?
As a "newbe" to this game I'm genuinely interested in how to maximise the fun and minimise the damage factor.

Don't stress Paul.

Most of the tyre's were old HT's, and Walter just had bad luck.

For the slow passes you can probably drop to 1.6bar but then you can’t exceed about 60km/h, you can suss it out when you are there depending on the rockiness of the roads. 1.8bar is safe for all conditions including tar

Thanks Kurt.
Once again decent info supplied for us to learn.

Ya, just deflate a bit on the gravel roads and you should be fine
