Ons het ‘n afstand van 5200 km./2807 nm.in 74 ure gevlieg en ‘n total van 900 liter petrol en 18 liter olie gebruik. Ons langste dag was die 269 nm. (529 km.)been van Lidfontein af tot by Keetmanshoop wat ons in 5 hr 20 min. afgele het. Die stadigste spoed wat ek gemeet het was so22 nm/uur en die vinnigste so 84 nm./ uur.
There was a lot of discussion on the forum about Namibia and its people and in my opinion I can only say that Namibia must rank amongst the best microlight destinations in the world and the people we encountered must be the most generous and hospitable I have ever met. People like Hanno Snyman of Windhoek, Chris & Marisse Fourie, Christo & Deona Marais and Poena & Connie Olivier of Walvis Bay, Klaas & Maryke Oberholzer of Libertas Botha Jansen of Reveille, Piet & Gerda Brunert of Goldene Aue, Dirk Oelofse of Rundu , Alwyn Jordaan and many others treated us with generosity that was almost embarrassing at times.
Namibia is a land of such contrasts and natural beauty that I can only shake my head in disbelief when I watch the video footage I took. It certainly challenged me on evey level as a pilot. We flew over terrain and in conditions that I had never encountered before but learnt a lot from it.
The best legs were the 190 nm. stretch along the coast from Meob Bay to Henties Bay where we flew in windy and misty but perfect flying conditions over seal colonies and ship wrecks sometimes at 20 ‘above the sea. Another unforgettable leg was the 75 nm. along the Orange River from Kleinbegin to Ais-Ais including the entire Fish River Canyon.
Ons het ook ons “fair share” van rowwe omstandighede getref en die ergste was ongetwyfeld die 30 nm. been van Duwisib Kasteel tot by Hammerstein. Die “control bar” was bloot net om aan vas te klou en dit het soms gevoel of die Rotax geen rol gespeel het nie.Dog kon ons die trikes neersit presies waar ons moes en wou ten spite van die omstandighede.
The stretch from Betanien to Helmeringhausen was also everything but pleasant. We further flew over some very hostile and unforgiving terrain where there were at times absolutely no landing options and we were forced to put our complete trust in the little Rotax engines. The 35 nm. leg from Sossusvlei to Meob Bay stands out as one where there were just huge dunes, no roads and zero recovery options.
The fact that our adviser, Dr. Chris Fourie recommended that we take enough water with us for two days, didn’t fill us with too much confidence either. From Uis to Outjo to Goldene Aue we flew 284nm. over Mopani bushveld for as far as the eye could see and again we were at the mercy of our trusty machines. From Narubis to Ariamsvlei we flew over mountains and terrain that had been subjected to extreme volcanic action that really made us very uncomfortable and relieved when it was over. 
Ek is tans besig om deur die ure se video materiaal te werk en sal later probeer iets pos sodra ek klaar is.
Next time call me first so I can talk you out of this madness....
