Currently raining in Nairobi and has been for a.few days, lots of water and mud around. I think the stages over the next two days in particular will be extremely difficult!!

Will hopefully have access to a PC tonight so will try and get some more photos up.

Extremely wet and muddy today, the middle stage was cancelled., but he has splashed mud all over me amd my camera...

Due to out car issues and being messed around getting a replacement 4x4 on time, we had to race up to end of last stage and just made it in time. First few.cars.are.through, Waldegard was nearly caught by de mevius. He covered me and my camera with red mud on the way past!

Perez late coming through with damage to front left looks like he's been off. Siddall very slow with very bad misfire.

I hear De Mevius is limping through the last stage of the day.

Was at the first stage this morning and it was the roughest bit of road I've seen in my life, absolutely unbelievable! Carried on to a jump but everyone slowed down a lot fpr it. Managed to catch the last couple of cars in the third.stage, now heading to HQ in Voi.

Epic rally is over, Waldegard wins, Geoff Bell second, Blomqvist third. Lot of tired people around here! I was feeling ok until the podium and now I'm completely dead, not sure whether we will head back to Nairobi tomorrow or take a day to chill out and come back Wednesday, with a day in a safari park on Friday. Hopefully get some more photos up over the next couple of days.

Absolutely amazing event, total adventure, massively difficult and an amazing experience to have gone through. Very very glad I made the decision to come Only got the prize giving party this evening then it is all over for another two years...

He's doing that event every year I think, we'll probably see him back in 2-3 months in Belgium for Legend Boucles de Spa. Sucks that Mevius lost so much time, but it's all about survival mostly.
