Trip planning starts with a good book...

It's only four weeks to my first proper overland trip, across Southern Africa, and so I went looking for a guide into the heart and soul of overlanding - and I found it in 'The Prairie Traveller: A Handbook for Overland Expeditions', a 19th Century account of travel across the US. What a fascinating read...

And oh, the #1 consideration for overlanders back then (and I guess still today) is...weather! It could change the entire route for my trip.

Can't wait to hear of and read about your travels across S. Africa. Are you going in a group or just you and your partner in the avitar/picture? Best of luck!!

Thanks Eric. A mix of travelling solo and in convoy...

I've started a post in Overland Trips Then and Now, where I'll be uploading updates on my travel...
