Thanks guys, it is an incredible adventure and great to be able to watch. Just wish my laptop hadn't dies or I would've been able to get photos up at the end of each day. Had mobile signal for a short while earlier today but nothing since, Orange not the best to have as others have signal on different networks, hey ho you live and learn!
Not had a good day, spot in the first stage this morning wasn't great, then we hit a massive dip very quickly on the road section just before the border, luckily (amazingly) nothing broke on the car but I think my neck will be a bit sore in the morning. Then we got to the last stage of the day and drove in from the finish, however we took a wrong road at a junction and were off the stage but didn't realise until later- then when we were going back we got stuck in mud that was a foot deep, we got the winch out but the tow rope broke... no phone signal so Geoff had to set off on foot for help, he walked about 5km before finding Reinhard Klein who pulled us out. Drove back to the stage and got out near the end in time to see the last few cars just as the sun was going down. Now at Rally HQ in Amboseli National Park and looking forward to the rest day tomorrow, don't think I'm the only one!!
