Bloody good dune old chap.

Namibian dune climbing is knackering! Good photo btw.

Yep, the sand makes it a hard grind going up, but a fabulous glissade back down to the vlei

Yep, 2 up 1 down . Even poles with snow bales sink in. Like orange snow but a touch hotter!

Whats the drop to the white sand?
Mike Lates - 18/Aug/13
About 300m I think
