We got the Mali visas in Dakar and have been on the road for the last 4 days

The first 80 miles in Mali- from Kayes (for those of you with an atlas) were bloody hard, it took us 24 hours. Hopefully the photos will do some of it justice as we had to scale some rock faces (I kid you not) and there was a particularly memorable moment when Ethel and I were in mid-air halfway up one rock face;


We are now in Bamako (the capital) and have been promised tarmac for the next 500 kms which will be a relief after the dust, sand and rock we have been on.

The running tally at the moiment is Germany -5,England -6...... that is for the number of times we have each fallen, I have got 3 indicators attached with duck tape!

I have got dust everywhere, more sand ahead

Timbuctoo - you just have to admire the girl. I wish sometimes i didn't have such ties and could go off with no strict time to return. 20 years to retirement yet...:(

Have Fun
