I am planning a 600km+ solo trip from Johannesburg to Durban mostly on sand-roads and twin jeep tracks. It will be done for a charity or two. Has anyone here got any experience that they could share with me?
Thanks |

That's the sort of thing you have to particularly watch out for on rutted roadways. You can avoid the problem with careful attention and planning and, where necessary, dismounting. I'm dubious of the "solo" part, unless you mean only that you'll be the only Segway. What if you're injured? Tire damage? You don't quite make it to the next power outlet -- or the anticipated power isn't available? A second person to provide logistical assistance would make it a lot more feasible, less risky, and more fun. Take lots of pictures, post regularly to the net, and find a way to leverage that for donations. Good luck! Oh, and watch this movie: http://www.10mph.com/
