Onelife Adventure

2019 expeditions are on the web site, in addition to Namibia and Botswana, we're off to Iceland, Algeria, Wales, Cumbria, oh and Yorkshire 😉.

Out on a recce of byways in Northumberland and North Pennines for our new UK Explorer location for next year. Some great river crossings and tight gateways but stunning scenery. Thanks for spotting me through David M Clayton, Bill and Michael Mitchell.

Climbing the fire breaks in the Sierra Malcattas. Around 45 degrees in places and engines working hard on loose gravel

Crossing the Rio Ponsul today

Sleepy streets in Idanha la Valha + plus the obligatory Portuguese cat

A prehistoric burial chamber, about 10 foot tall and today's best flower picture - Portugal is stunning in the spring, near Castelo de Vide. Also thanks to Gary at Camping Asseiceira for hosting us on our rest day braai.

The view from the bull ring at Castelo de Monsaraz

"Incredible - as good as the North Cape flowers" said Herman Fick, a South African !!!!

Amazing fields full of spring flowers

Small ford in the valleys north of Monchique

At Cabo de St Vincente about to start our own big voyage- 1100 km off road up Portugal with Herman Fick and a great group of adventurers, exploring every port shop we pass !

Snow on the dunes ! .... well, white limestone outcrops in the dunes at Dra Arraffir. A big climb out onto a plateaux covered in petrified tree trunks, life is good !

Our wild camp in the lee of a cliff down in Sebkat Aryid - hunting for fossilised shark teeth

First swallows of the 2018 summer. Heading north right now after roosting under my roof tent in the Western Sahara last night

Saharan rock art is endangered - from weathering and a wetter climate and idiots who deface and add to it. Come on Morocco .... start looking after this unique art

Todays rock engravings - between 6 and 12 thousand BC. Both pecked and line styles, fantastic ostrich with hunting dogs and my own favourite horned gazelle plus giraffe and elephant

Some of the paintings we found over the last few days in Western Sahara. Looks appropriate for St Valentines Day - make love, not war !

In the Anti Atlas amongst all the twisted and folded mountains - great pistes and awesome scenery. Plus dodgems in Assa !
