Dit lyk doenbaar. Ken nie Norotshama nie, of waar dit is nie, maar die ander lyk good. Daai pad tussen Sossus en Walvis, Namib Naukluft, was rerig sleg toe ek dit laas gery het...

Jy kan teerpad ry van Springbok tot by Port Nolleth en verder tot by Alexanderbaai en dan die "myn pad"(grondpad) al langs die rivier af ry tot by Sendelings drif. Dis n ompad. Of daar is 2 afdraaie op die Port Nolleth teerpad wat na Sendelingsdrif toe gaan - ek het die name al vergeet maar sal dit soek en post.

Daai paaie loop oor Lekkersing of Eksteensfontein... Op hulle sal jou bande lekkersing... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Die Eksteensfontein pad is bietjie van 'n uitdaging, baie sleg net anderkant die dorpie Eksteensfontein. Ek dink nie die drankwinkel daar het meer KWV brandewyn oor nie, ek het die laaste keer wat ek daar was die hele stock opgekoop.. 1 bottel.. Van daar mooi tot by Sendelingsdrift. :clap: :clap:

Ons het in September op die Lekkersing pad afgekom van Rosh Pinah af.. :thumbup: :thumbup:

As daar goeie reen is in die area is, dan loop daai rivier dat dit baars. Want dan loop dit af tot by ons en dan is ons vas gekeer. Sal n paar fotos opsit vanaand.

Take the road along the Orange River, past Rogers house to the lekkersing Eksteenvallei area, to the Richtersveldt. Nice scenic route. The pont is at the gate to the Richtersveldt, from there you are in Southern Namibia. Onthe Orange River is a short ct to Ai-Ais, which starts off very scenically. After that you can turn off to the lookkout to the Fish River Canyon Lookout point, wthout having to go to Ai-Ais, if you don't want to & then onto the places that you have planned for yor trip, past the Cannon Roadhoue to the Sousasvlei area. Enjoy your trip...

Tertius as jy daai Richtersveld pad langs die Oranje ry, dan moet jy liewers by Zak hulle by die Growcery oorslaap in plaas van Springbok. Dan het jy meer tyd om Eksteenfontein se pad te ry, of Lekkersing pad die voldgende dag. Jy sal dit maklik maak tot Growcery in een dag. Ek ry gewoonlik vroeg oggend so dat ek die ergste stads verkeer, mis en kom voregmiddag by hulle aan, as ek nie te veel lands die pad stop nie. Dis n lekker kampplek...

The water that comes down from Lekkersing area. Our only way to get in or out is on a tractor and trailer going up stream to the tar road.

Daai lyk na 'n baie lekker roete wat jy uitgewerk het, seker omdat baie dieselfde as myne is vir dieselfde tyd! ;-)
Ek is self nog opsoek na meer idees oor Richterveld so almal se insette is baie gaaf.
