Angola 05

[El Stiemo]

Ok so my friend has finally bought a proper slide scanner. So therefore some pics of his that we have scanned from last year's Angola trip, as I did not yet posess a digital.

My defender (Muehle) has since undergone some subtle mods.

Pic 1: Leba pass (between Lubango and Namibe, used to be Santa de Bandeira and Mocamedes)
Pic 2: Potholes, road to Cahama
Pic 3, 4 and 5: pass the broken down truck in the narrow pass
Pic 6: Kunene river upstream from Epupa Falls in early morning light
Pic 7: main road
Pic 8: road to Foz de Cunene
Pic 9: Before sun up on the beach from Foz de Cunene to Tombua
Pic 10: Da dunes
Pic 11: Relax in Babas, north of Namibe, yes, people do live in those ruins..

Hope you enjoy

Frank

Nice trip Frank...

Nice trip Frank...

Yeah Marc, thanks.

This again a demonstration of the reliability of a Defender. At the time 180.000 km, one vehicle, no problems. We would have been up s**t creek without a paddle if it had given us any trouble, especially from the border up to Tombua, but she just carries on. I am a very happy Defender driver. :)
