One small step for man kind one large leap for Andy

Well its over now..and we are so proud of him!
I´m glad to get him back in once piece...bye for now and thanks Caz


Well, I think I have almost done it. So far we have had some 32 retirers, 2 heart attacks that required runners emergency repatriated, and 1 very sad death, that hit us all hard. We all ran today in Bernard's honour
Tonight we are all very tired, but elated, as we Bivouac for the last time, and what a view.
Behind us is a magnificent Merzouga Dunes, the highest in the Southern Sahara at some 855mtrs, almost a 1000 feet of sand, and tomorrows final stage treats us to a run over them.

We start running at 09:00, and on arrival at the finish its 5hours by bus back to the Hotel in Ouarzazate for a very much needed shower and a cold beer.

I'm getting quite emotional typing this, as you have all been so much a part of this for me.
I can't tell you how much your emails have lifted my moral, made me laugh and brought the tears, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your support.

I will update these reports as soon as I am back in civilization, but
for now I'll sign off, a very greatful Andy.
See you all soon.
