First stage completed


Well, stage 1 is done and dusted. 12km of rock and then 13km of DUNES. Then 7kms of rock to the finish. It was a tough day. 3 hours in the dunes with your pack at its heaviest is not a barrel of laughs... I really need to change where I put my food etc to make it easier to get on the run. But the dunes are unbelievably beautiful. They are massive - really sand mountains, not dunes.They are so golden and the sky behind them is so blue it is just like a movie set. Buggers to cross though! I finished in just under 7 hours, which I am happy with given the toughness of the stage. Tomorrow is longer but with only 3km of dunes.
Yay! Off now to rest.
