Did anyone record/mapped the trip on a GPS?
Or at least save the co-ordinates for each camping spot, etc?
Would be interesting to see...

Ok guys, a little late, but only managed to reduce file size enough over the weekend. Here are a few of my pics - pretty much biased towards my car i'm afraid but so what!!
Also a big thank you to everyone from the organisers to the participants - it was a really fantastic trip with a great buch of guys (and girls) and not one problem or unpleasant episode - even Davids submarine stunt didn't ruin anything for anyone. Well done to everyone who chipped in to help him, especially Errol and Graham.

Thanks to everyone who made it a great trip, and thanks for having me!

I've written the article for WegRy/Drive Out, and when it has been published (October issue) I can also release my photographs via a dropbox link.

I wrote about some of you guys, so I just want to check if I got names and vehicles correct. If I didn't mention you, apologies, but I couldn't be everywhere at once and a story can only be so long!

I initially got the info off this forum, but not sure if all is correct:

Tinus Lotz 4.8 GRX petrol
Dirk de Clerc GQ 4.2 SGL diesel
Chris Boegman GQ 4.5 petrol
Michael Steyn GU 4.2 turbodiesel
Joshua Joubert GU 3.0 turbodiesel
Alex Roux GU with Lexus petrol enjin
Fanus (surname please?) 4.2 TD bakkie
David Volschenk 4.2D GQ
Cedric Warner 4.2 turbodiesel, the Iron Maiden
Errol Wilken 4.5
Graham Cumming 4.5
Rob Lombaard
And finally, does anyone know the surname of Stephan and Astrid? They drove with Cedric and Greg's group.

Also, if any of the above vehicles have nicknames, let me know!
