We found this route on a pamflet of 4x4 trails, around Henties Bay, in the Swakopmund tourist info office. There is no real info to go on but it starts and ends in Hentis Bay, follows the Omaruru river and should pass south of the Spitzkoppe before returning down the D1918. We couldnt find the way out so we continued on to the D1930.
