Hot Rock

Went to a talk last night by the current organiser of Hot Rock, a truck that tours the globe putting up new routes and exploring mountainous regions.

Couple of good things to remember for Africa trip:

1. Climbing (finger) board on back of truck.
2. Weld on extra water carriers.
3. Spare tyres (they had 9 blowouts from Kenya to Cape Town).
4. Wooden planks and boards to help get truck out of sand and mud traps.
5. Stereo!
6. English dictionaries for the locals.

More importantly, good to see their budget - £4,000 for 7 months from Kenya to South Africa. Click HERE to see what it includes.

Mental note, need to get an HGV and/or PGV driving licence...
