That camel is one hell of a ride!

Camelride by Stephan Baumegger
My recent delivery from Stephan Baumegger (Puzzleisure on Facebook) included this very unusual 12 piece burr. It's solved like any other burr apart from the fact that there's a camel inside and I needed to move the camel around to allow free play of the pieces at different points - it's level is 16.8.9.2.2.3.4.2.1.2 - 16 moves allows removal of 2 pieces at once and interestingly it is the removal of the 3rd and 4th pieces which are by far the hardest part! I love it - thanks Stephan!

Rode the camel out!
