After a couple of beers, and my mind made up, I hit the sleeping bag for an early night.
Whilst I was drifting off to sleep thinking about the journey ahead of me it suddenly hit me…
Here I am camping on top of a mountain is South Africa, and the night sky is all wrong!
It’s the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere. Above my head is Polaris (Northern Star), and Ursa Major (the Great Bear). with that I dozed off!
I wakened early at 5:30am (local time) to a beautiful sunrise. After a coffee and last nights leftovers for breakfast, I checked the plane over, packed and stowed all my gear into the plane, started the engine, set my course, and at 7am I hit the skies, and started my 415mile journey to Upington (FAUP) on route to Namibia.
