  • In this episode we finish the Namakwa 4x4 eco trail, on possibly one of the toughest parts of the trail, putting the overlanding vehicles through their paces! We leave vioolsdrift and head into the Richtersveld world heritage site! This is a proper offroad adventure and even though you might not need a 4x4 you definitely want to be prepared! It’s a harsh and tough environment, which will test your vehicle. I was loving testing the terrain tamer pro shocks and adjusting them around to get the perfect ride! We camp in a cave called Brakkranse which is just a crazy cool overlanding experience! Emma and Nala her pathfinder, absolutely impress me with their determination and willingness to explore! And it is sad to get to Alexander bay and say good bye to them!

    Have to admit, Southern Africa offers way more for the overlander than Oz.

    Great video Adrian. You must do a lot of setting up the camera, driving off a good distance, then having to ho back to collect the camera for the next shot. The quality of your filming is outstanding. One would think you had a film crew capturing your adventures! Your efforts are appreciated by all of your audience, I am sure. "Anyways" on with the next. Best wishes from UK.

      Thanks! Luckily I have Andy with which helps so much with getting a more natural perspective of the journey and he can bounce between the multiple vehicles to capture the conversations etc 👌🏻 it used to be just me and my tripod, which was fun in its own ways but even just an extra set of hands helps so much! 👏🏻

    Hi Adrian, will it be possible to do the whole route in a high clearance 4x2 bakkie, and how many times did you use 4x4?
    Great video, thanks.

    • @RoamOverlanding
      @RoamOverlanding  Рік тому

      You could probably do the whole thing on 4x2 high ground clearance 👍🏻 when my wheels are on gravel I am in 4x4 the whole time. So We did use low range a couple times but it wasn’t needed, just more pleasant to have the control and slower speed. Just go with a friend in case one of you gets stuck.

    Your channel really showcases the stunning biodiversity of our country and I look forward to exploring it for myself someday. Question: I see at 09:45 you spotted an old car and stopped. Did you get out and investigate further? It's a Ford Escort Mk1 and if it is a coupé (2 door) they are rather valuable should the body be solid.
