Hi JB,
Thanks for this inspiring work! I’m sure this question was probably asked many times before, but would you take another type of bike if you think back to the Namibia roads? I’m planning a Namibia trip in the near future.
Regards and keep up your good work!
Juan
Hi Juan!
Did you manage to go?
I had my heavy steel touring bike as I was on a long distance trip. For a Namibia-only trip I think a gravel bike would fit very well, allowing to cover faster the long distances between water and food stops. A mountain bike with suspensions could also work well if the road are really in a bad shape or to go off road a little. A road bike would keep you on few flat paved roads, so less adventure than what Namibia offers, but there’s enough long and quiet paved segments (although it won’t be easy to design a loop with just paved roads, see https://www.ra.org.na/PublishingImages/Pages/RMS/Update%20RRS%20Roads%20per%20Surface%20Type.PNG)
Bonjour JB, Wilfried Steinbach vient de me contacter. Nous ns connaissons bien. Il est sur la route pour Lofoten, tout comme moi, mais pas par le même itinéraire.
Il m’a dit que tu te diriges aussi vers Lofoten !?
Donc, nous pourrions noys rencontrer eventuellement à Bonø, c’est là où le ferry part.
Au sud de Lofoten.
Nous pensons nous y rencontrer dans environs 10 /15 jours…
Cdt, Fred.
I am curious of the total cost of the trip if you can share, i.e. the difference of your bank account balance from when you left to when you arrived. 🙂
Sure, I will compile all sorts of stats including financials in my last posts.
Adam, it took time, but there it is: http://freewheely.com/2015/05/how-much-did-it-cost/
Sublime les dernières photos de dunes !!!!
105 jours en Namibie un record mais les paysages et les déserts sont magnifiques .
Et ca continue … y’a pas de coin moche en Namibie. Encore plus de photos de désert à venir!
j’ai l’impression que derrière chaque colline ou montagne une surprise , un désert mais quelques angoisses avec les hyènes et les réserves alimentaires !!! largement compensé par toute la splendeur des paysages surtout au coucher du soleil .A+
hello,
tu devrais envoyer tes photos à Lons le Saulnier chez VACHE QUI RIT pour te faire sponsoriser !
AlinC
Tu devrais noter également le nombre de chiens en Espagne !!
Finalement la vie en Espagne est aussi onéreuse qu’en Suisse .
Tu pourrais aussi noter le côté écolo de ton aventure en donnant la quantité de carburant et donc de CO2 économisé .
A+
toujours d’aussi beaux couchés de soleil, l’option de monter pour avoir une vue panoramique est excellente .
Je vais juste mettre a jour le dénivellé, car j’ai pas le compte pour les chiens.
Le “cout de la vie” est plutot un ordre de grandeur, à corriger avec beaucoup de paramètres: je peux acheter de la nourriture dans un pays et la manger dans le suivant. En Espagne, j’ai fait des restau pour le wifi (et le repas). En Suisse, je me suis cantonné au minimum, n’ayant pas grand chose a espérer culinairement. Objectivement, la France n’etait pas le moins cher mais peut-etre le meilleur rapport goût/prix 🙂
It would be nice to see the evolution of these figures and ratios over the time…
Give me your suggestions and I’ll make the graphs! There’s many possible, not all relevant though.
Everything is there on the log tab. I’ll add later the elevation gain for each day too.
Over the time, I guess distance and costs are increasing … 🙂 What should be obvious too is the correlation between the number of pictures taken and the elevation gained per km cycled.
i love your stats! 🙂 they really give a great overview!
but one thing that confuses me is: what is the difference between “shelter” and “camping”? do you pay for camping on a campground? and is shelter wild camping?
looking forward to reading a lot more of your adventures …
safe travels! 🙂
I think shelter and camping are both for outside sleeping. The difference is the roof under which he sleeps 🙂 When camping, the roof is the tent, whereas shelter means he found a more ‘solid’ roof, typically an abandoned house 🙂
Indeed, there’re no explanations here, but as aurelien said:
– camping: pitching my tent in the wild
– shelter: finding a roof (free and empty) that replaces my tent, because of the rain, wind, laziness, …
– Hotel/Hostel/B&B: paying for a roof (that usually comes with a bed too)
I was thinking of “campground” for paying for a place to pitch my tent, like in a touristic camping, but it didn’t happen yet.

By the way, at a host while watching TV, there was something about your idea, the same business but in Paris. I didn’t know it was already this popular. Good luck and make it better than the competition!
