 Itchy Boots has been in Southern Africa for the past few months and just finished a 22500 km trip through 3 countries. Now she is having a go at the Kalahari Desert Rally. She is the only female rider and is having a go on a 250cc Honda. Most of the big boys are riding much bigger bikes.  Some of the sections are 6-700 kms.  The Kalahari Rally is a prep for the Dakar Rally.  Dakar rally was originally from Paris, France to Dakar, Senegal, but security and covid restrictions required alternate routes. First stage was only 100 kms, next stages are much longer. Here is the link to her YT episode https://youtu.be/6ZGHf3ed3SI
