RABUBI Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 This was a brilliantly organised event Did it last year. Don't expect the Okavango delta, it is a lot of sand, thorns and rocks. But the tented camp, ablutions and the food was better than at the Pioneer. It really is a unique bushveld experience and for the price it is a bargain

ispydafly Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 This event will be better than ever. Strong sponsors and professional focus. This quiet race, just across the border is going to become a MUST DO. It's different and it keeps the legs going in winter. I'm sure they will still accept entries.
nonky Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 One week to go!!!Weather looks a bit chilly but still sunny .
