The day started badly with James reversing into a local mini bus! A small contribution towards the chaps repairs seems to have recovered the position . Sadly we can no loner open the boot. In the boot reside the spandex and socket set and the 40lts of. Spare fuel which we can no longer get at. We set off well ahead of of due time and then goodness that we did.
We travelled over some of the worst roads that I have come across but made camp before sunset.
It wax a he'll of a day.
Tomorrow is the key. We have blown up in the past at approximate 800 miles and we will be approaching it tomorrow. I feel pretty confident. Our temperature is low, our oil pressure is where we expect so I hope that we will be fine.
Fun night in the mess tent this evening. James is now snoring about 10m away. I think ghat I will sleep
Rhc
is low.

Mates - finally got a few minutes to track you down....lovely video...keep at it!! Leaves falling off the trees in London. Last time I was in Tashkent I hired some belly dancers to entertain my boss but at the last minute (just as they about to come into our part of the restaurant) some local mafia boss outbid us and they buggered off elsewhere.

ReplyDeleteJust enjoyed your moment in the sun (should that be Rising Sun?) with the gentlemen from Japan. Typically & wonderfully understated performances! At the risk of being more than usually "moist" I have to say that I am finding this vicarious experience rather humbling. I look back on 62 years & find nothing of commensurate skill, tenacity or prestige occupying a place in my history. Very, very well done both.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video - great to see you clearly enjoying the experience so much. Glad the old girl is holding up.
