Avontuur
Our trips are getting a bit more challenging each time. This time no mud-rain-and-hail fest in the North Yorkshire Moors Ramble but some unexpected snow in Marmot’s Land, cramming it into three-and-a-half wonderful days.

Een jaar of twee nadat ik elke keer kippenvel kreeg bij het bekijken van Wild Horses, The Silk Road Mountain Race documentary, vraagt Abel me hoe serieus ik eigenlijk was over die race. “Nou, als je het vraagt…” antwoord ik (lees: laten we het doen!) en het balletje begint te rollen.

Nou ja zeílen, meer dobberen.
Nadat de wind uitbleef en het water revanche nam door in de dieseltanks te lopen als antwoord op de diesel die eerst in de watertanks was gesijpeld, werd het een plezierige oefening in geduld.
Dit alles danzij Benno, kapitein Gwendal en Alexander.

For a change no African heat! (the fascination for a tent in its surroundings remains)
The Norwegian plains are a bit monotonous, but can all of a sudden become spectacular in the right light.

Our cycling target has been reached! We’re in Opuwo, finally a real African town. It’s great to see the Himba people looking at us looking at them, they’re impressive!
From here on we’re going even more on the tourist trail: visting Epupa falls and Etosha national park. This does not mean the cycling days are over though, and we’re still elegible for spotting elefants and lions in the wild. We’re sleeping with a gasoline burner at hand….when we’re not sleeping in a luxury resort with a pool.

Just a few pictures from the initiation: Windhoek to Swakop.
As the weather is quite warm, we’ve shifted out schedule to riding in the early morning and in the evening time, which is very impressive under almost-full moon.
Swakopmund itself is a strange little town, like a desolate shopping mall surrounded by dunes. in the last 50 kilometers the temperature has dropped about 10-15 degrees, and it’s quite chilly here.

Thanx to Breg ‘Attak’ Hanssens’ machine-like pedaling I finished the 24uurs2011 in a nice time (about 450km in 22 hours)
Somewhere my GPS logger started to fail otherwise the crossing of the railway bridge at Culemborg would have been nice to see, as well as the end sprint from Den Bosch to Eindhoven in under one hour.
