Re: Trip to the Richtersveld
Picked up a copy of Leisure wheels and by chance there is another 3 page article about a 10 day trip to the Richtersveld, Sossusvlei and Kolmanskop. I'll scan it when I'm back home if anyone is interested.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

It seems like the World Cup is 11 June to 11 July - I think it is the perfect time to GET WAY from civilisation...

Re: Trip to the Richtersveld
Ok guys
I'm working on a route starting 21 June 2010 till 26/27 June 2010. There are still campsites available but I need to know who is keen as we will have to book now. Some sites only have 3 or 4 sites left and they tend to go first. Those keen to join, please let me know by Friday. I can then plan and book our trip and should have everything ready by Monday/Tuesday.
Oh, before I forget...this from their site."The park is only accessible by means of a 4x4 vehicle, but vehicles with high clearances such as Kombi’s and LDV’s do travel in the park. Sedan vehicles are not permitted. There is no specific route that can be booked in advance."

Re: Trip to the Richtersveld
Oh man. Guess that a lowered Fastback or stock Karmann Ghia don't qualify then 

If it's too low, you're too old

As discussed earlier, count me in - I might perhaps only join you guys a day later, since I don't want to miss the Beetle 75th here in Midrand - but I WILL be there!SambaOwner wrote:Ok guys

Re: Trip to the Richtersveld
...of course we absolutely MUST have a Tour logo - for the car doors, stickers, T-shirts, beer mugs etc 
I thought of something simple, like this?
