Starting to get organised

So, I have almost prepared all my food and pack ready for depature to the first bivouac tomorrow. Today Jay is running a seminar on backpacks, so hopefully I will be reminded of some things that will cut my pack weight even further. As it is I already have one of the lightest, so hopfully it will stay that way! Yesterday I had lunch and dinner in Ouazazate. I had a delicious tagine for dinner... yummmm! The food here is so nice and so cheap! And when you order a fruit juice, they go and squeeze it for you fresh. Fantastic. Not much else to report just now - I'll update again before we head out tomorrow morning with details of how to email during the race etc. ine x

Arrived in Morocco again!

Well, I am here in Ouazazate. The flight went well - I met up with 3 Aussies in Dubai and we all travelled together on from there. We had an 9 hour transit in Casablanca, so we all lobbed down to the airport hotel and had a great afternoon drinking beer (250ml Heinekens - or 'throwdowns' as we called them) by the pool. I met up with Jay (the CHAMPION organiser of the US/Aus contingent) at Casa airport, and was picked up at the airport by Mohammed Ahnsal - 4 x winner and good buddy from my last visit. Today I am re-packing all my food into ziplock bags and calculating the calories. Hopefully I will be at a decent weight by the time I have finished with it! More updates to come soon... ine x
