Ouarzazate - Erg Chebbi 28 March 2008


 Transfer to bivouac 1
Time :  5 hr 30
Water : 4.5 litres


Our Aussie flag up we are attracting visitors already! Trent, Steven, Van, Pete, Prince Wills.


With 24 other Australians in the race we are only one of the 32 nationalities represented here.



The Tabuk 5 are immediately comfortable playing pigs starting the fun we will have all week.



Brit journo, MarkGillett drops by for a chat and hands off some easy encouragement. How right he was when he said we would enjoy the starts.


Even Patrick Bauer, race maestro & icon, pops in to welcome!


Tous va bien en Tente 82.



Our first taste of this warmly personal, almost loving race.


(Dinner tonight with red wine! A boon for Des who happily collects the spares.)
