Very cool logo

I am considering taking my Landrover discovery, I am not a pessimist, but i assume it would be good to have a 4x4 recovery type vehicle.
IE you can count the seat cover and I in.

What about condoms that say" ACVWSA Richtersveld trip 2010"? :roll:

Ok...rather not....some people might not be able to explain to their partners why they have "ACVWS" written on the condom :lol:

Ok, on a more serious note, planning on this trip, is going well. I need some help though. I’m planning a visit to Ai-Ais and the Fish River Canyon. How many days should be set aside for this? Can one get from Ai-Ais to Sendelingsdrift, without going back to Noordoewer?
Can anybody check on their GPS for this route and the distance?
If you are planning on joining us, please make sure your passport is sorted.

Planning so far, includes a 3 or 4 day river rafting trip, starting on 22nd June(for Pine's sake).
From there to Ai-Ais after which we head back to RSA, via the pontoon at Sendelingsdrift working our way South over the next couple of days, where we would most likely end up at Eksteenfontein or Springbok for our last night before everybody heads back home on 2nd or 3rd of July.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like a blast - if you need stickers and/shirts then let me know - have a good contact

Is this trip still going on or not? As I expected the project I'm working on is going till end of June at least, so I can't make it. I'm still planning to go, maybe later in the year. Maybe September or otherwise next year.

Judging by your calendar, that might be on our own Richtersveld trip...
