Log Book | London to Cape Point | A Journey to the Cape of good hope
Hey Didge, one of the guy's friends Alex has a pretty comprehensive page in regards to the trip. Maybe it might answer some of your questions. I haven't had a chance to look through it all yet. Might provide some good reading.
Sitec, there's also plenty of useful info in regards to each country they traveled through.
" If you went travelling without safety as a concern then that probably would be stupid. All over the world, there are areas within many countries that are dangerous and areas that aren't. Kenya actually felt the least friendly of the countries we drove through. We didn't venture close to the Sudan / South Sudan border, and had no problems on our route from Wadi Halfa to Khartoum and on to Ethiopia. However things can change quickly and taking current advice from places like the UK FCO website and researching on overlanding forums would be invaluable if you're planning a trip. Don't necessarily be put off by what's reported in the press, but do take heed, and if you do one day go, you'll have an incredible time!"
Just some advice they gave in regards to someone asking about safety and militia on the youtube page.
Thanks Ian, you're a champ! :)
I suppose for me it wasnt the place as such, more the actual going out and doing it. I would love to do an expedition in Oz, we are so lucky in this country to get the chance to do so.
As for gopros, im looking myself and the Hero 4 Silver is good enough. Kogan has then for over $100 cheaper than anywhere i have seen so far.
I wouldn't bother buying a gopro again. I'd buy four of the copies for the price of one gopro. They do a lot of post editing to get their videos to look so good, so unless you're prepared to do the same do t expect them to look as dazzling. Don't worry about the knockoffs being immoral- Mr gopro stole the idea from a south american company ( if I recall correctly)
