Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Well what can we say..... what a trip..... AWESOME!!

Hmmm i thought this was going to be desert .....with loads of sand.....maybe I should have Googled the area first..... .... there was bush..... and lots of it !!

On the way, after a stay over at Red Sands Country Lodge ( Very nice by the way ) to Olifantshoek I saw the tyres I want for the Iron Maiden....
We filled up with fuel and Red Bulls and left Olifantshoek onto the Witsand gravel road....
with a curious onlooker
the sand was getting .....ummmm....sandier....
a weaver nest and a nice piece of biltong

Oh....did I mention the bush....ha ha
The directions to our sleep over house
After unpacking, we headed out for some fun
with a few onlookers
and some SAND !!!!....
Then enter.... well I call him "Cool hand Luke".... ( ok ok its Lucky Luke, but he was alway cool and calm) Yip... I'm talking about Rod....with his new trusty steed

There are more.... but last night, for some reason my internet kept dropping.... .... will post more tonight

Bated breath!

Cedric is that the truck there by Sishen i think ? next to the Digger ? Think me was there one day tooooo

Ha ha....yip Grootseun.... the same one.... I stood underneath and ogled those twin turbo's on that machine....

see Cedric we have different ideas of HP , you wonderd if that motor could fit in your patrol and what HP it would push , i wonderd if i could pull that beast with my strongman harnass , then we both had to wake up to reality i geuss

verycool!!!

Hoe was Brulsand?? Kon julle die gebrul hoor??

Herrie, I got some inside info on the "brul" from the vannieKerks whom we stayed with.

The white sand does not "brul", only the red ones on the South side of the reserve.
These however did not "brul" either.
The reason for that is because the only area we walked on (and dune we tried to ascend), is the well treaded part at the visitors parking area. It seems the "brul" had been treaded out of it by many pedestrians. To get the "brul" one must apparently walk a bit further away from the more treaded paths.
Secondly one should apparently only seek the "brul" in the months with an "r" in it. I.e. it does not "brul" in the Winter.
So we did not get to hear the "brul", not because of timing as it should still happen in ApRil, but because we did not walk far enough away from the visitors parking area to find it.
