West Coast
 

I have just completed a trip down the west coast, my website should hopefully by the end if next week have all the waypoints and hints and tips on it (www.patrolinafrica.com). Though as always with things in africa getting things done usually takes longer than you anticipate.

cheers

Sorry I have been away....we came up the east route. Did 16651 miles door to door costing 1935ukp at 27.8mpg...not bad for a 2.8 range rover 6x4 carmichael .. 2 punctures...destroyed one tyre...3 vehicle problems...exhaust fell off, clutch pipe burnt through and hubb drive member repaired but thses did not immobilise us.

hi jean already getting itchy feet....started to plan next trip...australia bound!!! sorry we cant make the west coast part of your trip had some good times together especially with the two boys.

Any pics?
 

Hi any pics of your carmichael? we did it in a '83 rangie with a crappy 2.5 ford transit engine. We had quite a few mechanical problems but didn't technically breakdown. (Definition of breakdown IMO is being unable to do a roadside repair and needing to call for help - scheduled "maintenance" stops permitted ie. limping to next town for repairs)
