Driving the FJ Cruiser through the Namib desert to Meob bay, Episode 10.
The series will be aproximately 11 episodes covering the 7 days of our journey through the scorching desert with extreme dunes to the West coast of Namibia where we wil catch fish and drive some scary dunes. In our convoy we have the FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser pickup, a couple of GD6 Hiluxes, Fortuner and notably the brand new Nissan Patrol.
We go for one more drive in the big dunes to test our new skills at sand driving. The V6 vehicles make it look easy, but dont be fooled.
We end up playing antill the sun sets and then we have to drive out of the desert in the pitch black desert night. Sliding down slipfaces is a lot more intimidating if you cannot see where it ends.

It had a surreal feeling about itas the light often dissapeared into teh sky so it was pitch black even with lights on.

Fantastic video as always my goodness like trying to get a 4x4 up Everest! quite scary for me still. well done to the 4X4's and drivers that made it. like fishing just being there even if you don't conquer a dune, is still a thrill. Must have been hard to leave the Namib behind.

It was hard to leave and I would like to go again, sooner than later. It is expensive though and I will have to save up for a couple of years. The camera cannot capture the true scale of the dunes, and I had to cut out a lot of footage that just does not do it justice.

It probably will help, but pointed down. As it was though it was fine enough to see the track, except in the slipfaces, but then even in daylight you could see almost nothing of the tracks on the slipfaces.
It looks quite an interesting experience driving in the dunes. I wonder how it compares to the beach driving they do in Australia. The driving at night in the dunes must be quite intimidating, can quite easily get lost?

You can get lost in the blink of an eye, the dunes all look the same. If you cross 3 dunes and don't follow your exact tracks back you can easily be completely lost.

I do think it is easier to drive than the beaches in Australia, uless kicked loose the sand is fairly firm and easy to drive on . The slipfaces is another matter though.
