Fossil Rock

Not content with Liwa dunes we set off for a day trip on Friday January 6th, this time with the Carnes, Audretschs AND Doyles along,  to let the young folks see Fossil Rock and have a bit of serious dune bashing! This is our usual lunch spot – ladies lunched (except Katy) while men (and Katy) played boules!ladies that lunch
Just a small dune in our Prado….

Then came the serious stuff and the long drop off the top of Fossil Rock. We all struggled to get to the top to do this, but we all went down this very very steep slope…..

10 Green Camp Chairs Sitting On A Dune! This is Fossil Rock in the background and we have just come down a slope just off to the left. What we are all sitting watching is the locals and their mad attempts at climbing UP the slope you see in front of us. A cup of coffee, piece of cake and what entertainment!

And, bizarrely,  as we left, what did we see sitting in the back of someone’ jeep but a cheetah?!
