Thanks BB & Switchback,

I have an adapter for SA plugs, so will be ok when in camp. If I need to charge up when on the 4x4 route, I'll be ok as long as your inverter takes normal SA plugs?

I have a spare battery for my camera, and both usually last a couple of days, depending on how many photos I take, but know I'll use them up very quickly if I get the opportunity to take a photo or two of an interesting raptor :lol:

(Just wait until you see my reaction if we see a Red-necked or Pygmy Falcon :cam:

).

Just read your TR Switchback, you have some cracking pics on there :thumbs_up:

I'll be happy if we see half of what you saw

OK, I'm off to read some more TR's.

Red necked are sometimes near Nossob, but Pygmy near 2R on the Aoub side.

If you have a cigarette lighter adapter for your batteries Barcud, bring it along.

Here is something in the meantime for you to practise on , Barcud.

We have seen many Red-necked Falcons in the park...along the Auob as well as along the Nossob...and many in the dune roads. You should see both of these birds on your trip .

Hello fellow four-by-four Forumites :tongue:

I have a request for all of you - is there any chance that one of you guys coming on the trail has space in your vehicle for an extra person - another Forumite - unfortunately I can't tell you who it is but I can assure you that it will be well worth it :thumbs_up:

Please would you send me a PM if you can help - unfortunately you will also be sworn to secrecy

Hope you can help
Thanks
Gill
