Hey man, I've never asked you your name! Thanks for always tuning in, and making us feel great about our work and efforts in filming and putting out these episode. Merry Christmas to you too, and may God bless you and yours. Hope you're somewhere awesome.

Thank you :-) We didn't feel unsafe during our stay and the boom gates were always manned. We didn't camp in the campsite though as they gave us a cabin for the week, but I doubt there is much to be concerned about. We did however get warned not to go too far down the beach (towards Sodwana), as tourists had been targeted, but didn't see anything or anyone that seemed suspect.

Malcolm, it sounds like as with us, you guys had an amazing time in Lesotho and that you brought back some good memories. We didn't get a chance to visit Katse, but the Moteng pass was one that stood out (next episode). Good advice given. Enjoy the rest of the festive season, until we chat again. Thanks for the positive comment

Hi there Andy, The campsite's not really maintained, unless the Ultra trail is coming up, but I would recommend arranging with them about a week prior to your arrival and there shouldn't be any issue. The campsites hadn't been used for months before we arrived, which is why we didn't really film the camp. There was an ablution with warm water, but improvements can definitely be made, which I'm sure is part of future plans (if not done already). Hope that helps, Have a great one

@@Jhetx dankie Jean! It was an amazing spot, and Lesotho is still one of our favourite places. I have part two just about done and will upload soon! Thanks for following and supporting. Hope you have a great evening on your side

@@Ncash05 such a kind comment, thank you, really appreciate your encouraging feedback and good wishes. Merry Christmas and happy new year, may it be filled with adventure

@@skopanus Doc! We're well thanks, and it's great to hear from you. Thanks again for your efforts and being a part of our journey. Hope you enjoyed the episode. Next one coming soon :-)

@NuminousExpeditions fantastic job! It must take you hours to do a single video. I appreciate the showcasing of our beloved area!

@@skopanus takes close to 40 hours per episode. Ficksburg is a fond memory:-)

@@Jhetx this comment has made our morning! We really appreciate it when people get into it, see the finer details and notice the efforts that go into making the videos. We try to keep things as real and accurate as possible, so that the viewer can be part of the experience. Yes, actually all the places we've visited, felt worth a visit :-) The hair was my first set of hair after I lost it, and decided to keep it for a while... Thank you for the compliments and support. Have a great one

@@malcolmgordge8550 glad to know you've gotten to the Matches on the Map now! 😁 Thanks for watching all of the building Betsy episodes, I'm sure it has given you good insight to our home and commitment to the project. Hope you'll enjoy the journey

@@cptkirkyoung3269 thank you for the comment, following and good wishes. I love those forward control Landy's. Would have been great to meet you, maybe we'll see you out on the road. Have an awesome long weekend.

@NuminousExpeditions let's hope so enjoy yours too

@@malcolmgordge8550 we have, but there hasn't been an extra minute - maybe it's time to make time :-)

@@malcolmgordge8550 only time will tell :-)

@@malcolmgordge8550 at the moment, there's no issues with the suspension and Betsy's doing well, but maybe those air bags are in the cards one day. Have heard good things. Malcolm, thanks for taking the time and watching all the videos. It motivates us to keep them coming. We are fortunate to reach supportive individuals like yourself.

@@malcolmgordge8550 I do Invision a home settled on a small piece of paradise somewhere someday, but would probably be as unconventional as they come :-)

@@kingskid3962 thanks for the positive feedback on the video. You're welcome to pop me an email at l.robinlewis@gmail.com Might only get back to you on Monday as we're traveling over the weekend. Have a great one

@@malcolmgordge8550 greatly appreciated, and thank you for following the journey. It's been quite the ride and since completing Betsy, we've been on the road for over a year now and have made some improvements to get her ready for some of the challenging roads in Africa. We look forward to sharing it with you. Have a great festive season

@@malcolmgordge8550 we take a look back at the build videos every now and then and still say it was 110% worth it. Thanks for the supportive comments

@@malcolmgordge8550 thank you for the positive comment. Yes, we had great support and wouldn't have been able to complete Betsy without them. Thanks for tuning in

@@louiskruger3725 there's been quite a few "should have" moments on the trip, but we would have probably missed sandstone estate - so al least there's a silver lining in there somewhere. Thanks for checking out this episode, will have some new ones out soon Have a great evening

@@auto-funatics7147 good morning, and thank you very much for the awesome comment. Yes we do. You can check out the "building Betsy" playlist on the channel. I think there's two or three "parts" that focus on the oil. You can definitely run it, but would need to heat it. The best way is using a heat exchanger that uses your engine's coolant/water to heat it. Met another guy that runs his old G-wagon on oil (same concept). Took some photos of his van on Facebook. If you search "numinous Hirsch Hydraulics" on fb it should come up. Important is to filter the oil, you can use parker racor filters (mentioned on one of the last sections of the build). They seem to do a great job, but if you want to save some filters, I would recommend using rope filters to pre filter the oil. We've improved our system so that it can now run on used engine oil too. After about a year on the original system we added a PABiodieeel centrifuge which is the ultimate option for filtering oil without the need of filters. Most guys set up a filtering station in their garage and let the water settle first, we've gone for a inline water separator as we've got to do it on the move. Hope that helps.

@@Vansafrica ek werk daaraan! :-)

@@emilybrooke4779 thanks Emily! Editing from Witbank for the rest of the year :-)

@@makaylinnaidoo7123 thank you very much for watching and following the journey. Appreciate the good feedback on the video. Try to improve as we go along

Thanks Jaco!

Hi there Sheryl :-) Thank you so much for the invite and if you ever do find ourselves in your area, we'll definitely make contact and will save it in our map. Thank you for the kind wishes, and may you have an amazing festive season. Robin and Jolandie

Hey man! We haven't checked out where you're at in a while. Hope all is well. I'm going to be using December to catch up on some of the video edits, to get you up to date. So, I'll keep''em coming! Appreciate the prayers, the same goes for you. Have a great one!

Such an awesome spot, can totally see why you would keep it a tradition. Great people with amazing scenery. Have a great one :-)

Thank you very much. Will do :-)

Goeie more! :-) ons vat ook nou die tyd in December sodat ek kan opvang met editing. Die video edits vat baie tyd, en somtyds is dit moeilik as ons besig is met recruitments reel ens. Maar, ons gaan ons bes try om op te vang. Hou dop

Good morning Yolanda, Thank you so very much for following the channel. You're welcome to give me a shout on 083 414 1191. Apologies for the late reply. Have a great one

Baie dankie vir die goeie wense, ons maak so. Lekker dag aan julle kant!

@@Jhetx thank you, and will hopefully Keep improving to help spread the word. He was truly a great help, not something we would have expected from a politician.

@@rannydewah8549 that's pretty great to know that we have someone following from an upcoming country. Maybe we'll see you in less than a year. All the best and thanks for subscribing

Maak ons heel trots, baie dankie. Ja, dit vat rondom 14 dae per video episode edit, en waardeer indien ons mense die moeite raak sien!

Did you go to the one in the middle of town by the old war museum? Or to the one in the same road as the market? The latter charges a fee and the one in town does not.

You lucky fish! :-) Thank you for your kind comment

Nice I stay just past Mbona

@@shaneparkins5781 Oh wow I'm by Braco Farm before you reach Mbona.
