Yes well a smorgasboard of everything, including “wip my gat” – Bietjie kinderlik, maar nou-ja hou nie van die beskrywing  “belaglik” nie...

And so, If what was intended to be a comical / tong-in-cheek discussion, I get insulted by being referred to as belaglik -------- Better to ontrek as om regtig lelik to word.  

Unfair to everybody else that I “wiped my gat” so I apologise... Maar ek was lelik omgekrap

Seems to be a terribly limited space if “camping & related” are the only topics that are acceptable .....  Maar nou-ja

Anton mailed me & the outcome was let-bygone’s be bygone’s and so here I am.

 So what’s been happening in my miniature word....

Don’t know when I last posted, so I’ll start with current & work backwards --- Stop when I’ve already covered the ground, otherwise you’ll first get all the things already spoken about.

One of the reasons for doing the 10 passes December 2019 was to test out my ambition of  “car  camping”, without towing a trailer.

Specifically “in car camping” rather than using a RTT which is considered as “on car camping” – This was extremely successful – and so I’ve now gone full time into this camping style.

Because I now am able to get in & go wherever I like, I have relinquished my bush-veldt retreat / cottage that I had in Brits, and have sold off all the things I had there to fund the change – IE rent I was paying is now used for campground fees, money I made from the sale of furniture ETC is funding evolutions to my Landrover such as lighter & less space hungry track – mats, and so on.

The end objective: - I want to be partly / mostly Nomadic when I retire, so ALL of this, and for a long time now, has been trials & tryout’s.

 Ultimately I want to go travelling for a few months, come back home for a while then be off again

MOST RECIENT EVOLUTION Tow-bar luggage carrier < Wicka carry-box> -

Using a 4x4 swing-away, spare-wheel mount, I have <FINALLY> very securely mounted this on the back of the Landy. This means that light / bulky stuff that was inside the Landy is stowed in it – freeing up a lot of room inside...

We are coming up for December & I am that confident, that Richtersveldt is still on the cards with the carrier.

Did a short camping trip to a resort  last long weekend to see trial the impact of this evolution, THE result was jolly successful, So I’ve forged ahead with this and shelled out the bucks to have a PVC bag made to cover the whole box for aesthetics / stealth-ness & weatherproofing. When I get it back, this upgrade will be complete.

I’m planning another weekend away this month – no specific reason ---

So that’s then the end of this post, everyone says my posts are oneindig So I’ll carry on in the next one.

SWUNG OUT

WELDING / FABRICATING / PLAN AS I GO

ADDITIONAL MOUNTING AT THE TOP - VERY SECURE
