Karen and Justin took a 5-week road trip through Namibia and Angola in search of the famous R5/Litre fuel. Wild camping with a non-4x4 (and broken diff-lock), they were searching for climbing but didn't find much, although a local chief in fake Croc shoes did successfully lead them in an onsight solo of a granite dome. They did find plenty of other adventures, including Lobito rush hour traffic, sleeping at a fuel station, amazing rock formations in Namibe, corrugations that turned (long life) milk to yoghurt, close shaves with pot poles, elephants that forced camp relocations and a papsak explosion over climbing gear prior to Spitskoppe.

Head to the clubhouse to catch up on all the action, and keep your eyes peeled for the next talk!
