We’ve pointed the #Xrider eastwards from ‘Die Hond’ (Hondeklipbaai, or Dog Stone Bay, if you had the urge to speak in tongues), dust-tailing into the vast and scrubby #Namaqua interior. Beyond Buffelsrivier, Spektakel Pass ascends onto the inland plateau along a series of whiplash curves, unravelling eye-popping scenery across simmering, blood-orange dunes lining the dry river bed.
