When the going gets tough don´t quit....

Hiya all...I'm really hoping this works...Andy isn't able to get onto his blog site so I'm hoping I've managed to do it.

Please keep his emails coming in as he needs the encouragement.
Looks like he finding it tough..but as we know Andy is strong and he will get through this and it will be something to tell his Grandchildren.
Thanks to you all for coming here to check on the progress.

From Andy...via satlink

A brief update to you all as time on the satlink is limited and previous posts failed!

Day1= 29.3km or 18 very long miles. 5 miles of energy sapping dunes + 2 steep climbs.
43c + 18% humidity.
Song of the day= You aint seen nothin yet, (apparently)Bachman Turner Overdrive.


Day 2= Sand storms blew tents down very little sleep followed by 21 mls of purgatory, 2x 3000ft climbs one called 'The climb to cleanse your Soul'.
Absolute Anaerobic Torture of heart, lungs, and thighs. 44c + 18%humidity.
Song of the day= Doctor my Eyes, Jackson Browne.

Day3= Another sleepless night more sand storms... followed by 20 miles of endless sand temperature in dunes 47c drank 8ltrs didnt pee once!
I'm taking lots of Salt tabs but make me feel sick.
Reached the tears threshold today, thru the effort required yesterday + today and song Russell
Watson =I believe.
More to follow hopfully... A very tired Andy
