Sorry for the stupid question, but where is Carnarvon? From the picture it looks like the Karoo ?

No Shaune, It is not a stupid question. Carnarvon is about 2km to the north west of Volstruiskop and about 5km east of Maanhaarkop. You can't miss it.

I forgot to mention, from us you just head South West untill you get to Swartbaadjie and then Vaalberg to Langbooi. From there you go south over Canarvon to the airfield in the South. Hope this helps
