Thanks Wilfred, nice report.

They sure do have mountains over there...

By the way, the spot you had in Glen Reenen is the exact spot we camped at in december.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

Thank Wilfred, great report and pics! I loved lesotho - it was my first "overland" tour which i did in April last year. When you overnight off the "main" dirt roads in the true rural mountain areas the serenity and beauty is amazing, but it gets SO cold! :lol:

Nice thread, Wilfred are you happy with your Sahara bar? Do you miss not having the fuller bullbar protection? Guys at 4x4MW reckon Sahara bar is for posers :rolleyes: , personally I think it suits your car perfectly.

Hi Dieselfan,

I am very happy with the Sahara Bullbar, it is strong and does it's work.

I must say some times I am worried about headlights and some protection there!

Wilfred
