Laayoune looming

Shhh... hear that? Exactly. That's the sound of an ambulance purring away through North West Africa with nary a hiccup. Now I know I've raised you on a diet of meatwagon calamities but you're going to have to face it: they're back on track, 5 by 5. True to their word they left Marrakech at 0530 this morning and have driven pretty constantly ever since, reaching Tizi n'Test pass around 0920, Agadir at 1300 and were about 500km N of Laayoune - the target waypoint for tonight - at 1600. The plan is to drive till they drop and start early again tomorrow. Now they're in deepest darkest Africa, the ability to send any pics by mobile has evaporated so it's just my evocative prose to keep you company till they hit something vaguely resembling civilisation again. Sorry about that.

The comments are working now - leave one if you like. They have to be moderated by me (else we get the usual Viagra/Nigerian royalty/etc spam filling them up) so they won't appear immediately but I'll get them up as soon as I can. Hi to Lisa from Cardiff who's the first outsider to leave a comment - follow her example please! Website update tomorrow - tell your friends if they haven't checked it so far. Cheers - Phil.
