Desert Country

For those who don’t follow the Quirky Girl Traveller blog, you might like to visit the site here to see what we got up to recently over a 3-week, 4,700-kilometre road trip from Kgalagadi to Fish River Canyon, then to the Richtersveld, Augrabies Gorge and Falls, and finally Papkuilsfontein, on the West Coast flower route.

We travelled on rugged roads that at times could easily be rated Grade 3 … once, we took 3 1/2 hours to cover 100 kilometres.

But that’s all about the fun of bouncing and flying and sliding over 4×4 routes, isn’t it?

Hirsh will convey the difficulty of the route in his Gravel Road Adventures Facebook posts, I just do the beauty … but these images are just a teaser …
