Despite the fact that we were all camped pretty close to each other last night the white noise of the waterfall helped to drown out the nightly noises of my fellow campers whilst also keeping things nice and cool. Everything…
Everyone loves a waterfall (Actually stage 35)
Even colder last night than it had been the previous night – 8 degrees under my very, very wet fly – the drop in temperature overnight meant the water had to go somewhere, and a lot of that was on…
Closed road stage (Stage 34)
I actually needed my sleeping bag last night and it was only 11 degrees when we set off – a significant change from what we’ve been having recently – don’t panic Kim we head back to lower altitudes and higher temperatures…
Back to the hills (Stage 32)

And then there were three (Stage 30)

Heading east from Dakar (Stage 27)

To Senegal we go (Stage 22)
Another early start with people crashing round in the dark long before they needed to be – I really must go further from the truck with my tent! It was also another day of lots of dew and condensation so…
Keep heading south (Stage 21)
The first call to prayer was at 0515 and that seemed to be enough to stir people who were camping, to the point that someone turned the car park lights on at 0545 which made it like daylight in my…
