Info

138km for the day (all of it on gravel, sand and rocky roads and tracks) and our travelling time was --- hours. Monday 10 December After a very quiet night, it was time to head for home .... but obviously via a scenic route and not the shortest one either. We made our way to the D2303 and from there to the coast and then followed the C34 to Henties Bay, Swakopmund and Walvisbay and then on the C14 over Kuiseb Pass and the C26 over Gamsberg Pass to Windhoek. © J Snyman 6
646km for the day (69km on tar and 567km on gravel, sand and rocky roads and tracks) and our travelling time was 10½hours. Conclusion This was yet another memorable trip with my favourite travelling companion to a spectacular part of Namibia. We drove a total distance of 1325km, of which 312km was on tarred roads and 1013km was on gravel, sand and rocky tracks. We did not see a single person or vehicle, not even in the distance, from the time we turned off the B2 on Friday until we turned onto the C34 on Monday – just the way we prefer and like it. As far as the book is concerned, this is mission accomplished ! The is still a bit of work to be done – mainly the selection and insertion of a few photographs and a final proof read, before the manuscript goes to the editor, the people doing the design and layout, and then the printers. I hope to have the first copies in my hand early in the New Year. Some statistics about our travels for this book : Although we’ve travelled in, and through, the Damaraland on numerous occasions over the past 18 years, the actual work on the book started in August 2011 when I started verifying all the data I had, logging all the roads and tracks and photographing all the places of interest and commonly seen species of fauna and flora, etc. © J Snyman 7
