The Prologue

The lowlights -

Getting up at 3.30 am... Oh yeah, and getting stuck in sand 300 metres from the start line, in full view of the press!

The highlights -

  • Sunrise in the Atlas Mountains...
  • Getting rescued from the dunes by Martine and Monique the team from TOTAL Pau...
  • And finally, finding all three flags, finishing in time, and only 2.12 km off the shortest distance!

Let's hope the real stages go as well (sadly today was just practice!)

Great effort Gaz " Elles
Pride of Canary Wharf !
After reading about your adventures
in the sand dunes i for one will certainly not moan when i next encounter the M25 Motorway !

Seriously though i think you are both doing a fantastic job and i am
enjoying reading your daily Blog.
As it is the Easter Weekend in London i will not be able to catch up on your progress until next Tuesday but i just wanted to wish you both a terrific weekend and i hope you are able to make good progress during these next few days

Got stuck 300m from the start eh! Hope the real start was better and that you are having a 'Good Friday'. If it all goes wrong you'll have a chance to 'resurect?' on Sunday!

Great picture of you and Donna with the sand ladders! how many CPs have you collected so far?
Hope you have dried out from last night's storm.
