RICHTERSVELD TRIP 21 - 27 SEPTEMBER

Here is the deal.

We head to Upington, Springbok, Steinkopf, Port Nolloth, Alexander Bay and into the metropolis of Sendelingsdrift on the edge of the park.
(last bit gravel road)

As the distance is vast I have been asked to arrange a longer booking period. Note that the Wednesday 24 is a public holiday.

The Park will provide a house for us at a cost of R 100.00 per day per person. The house has full ablutions, a kitchenette, fridge deep freeze and electricity. It is outside the Park but we will have a Ranger with us at night who will facilitate access to the Park. We will leave our scopes erected within the Park and I will take Manjane or one of my other lackeys to sleep in a tent alongside the scopes after our observing so we don't have to pack up every night.

They say the house has enough bedding but I know that Atlantic wind and it can get extremely cold. (Not as cold as Lady Grey I might add).

BOOKING FOR THE HOUSE:

The house has been reserved from the Sunday night 21 September until Saturday night (inclusive) the 27 September. If you wish to join us within these dates I must advise the park in case we run out of beds and they have to bring in more.

SHOPPING FOR ALL THINGS MUST BE DONE PRIOR TO ARRIVAL:

The closest town for provisions is Port Nolloth. (return trip 300km). Next Springbok (return trip 600 km). 90 % of people run out of film. 100 % of people leave to return to the Park within 5 years.
