Whohoo, well done guys, at least you aren't snowed in like Steppers !!!

I think those Mercedes buses work well. At least i saw them in Asia still working, can't see why they'd fail in Sahara

Cheers, Margus

Hello...

...everyone. Friend of Bernie/Oblertone/Pauls here. He's not likely to have mentioned me as he's a bit embarrassed that I like Football (the Blue in my name is after my favoured team rather than any sexual proclivities) and Lager in bottle's!.

Very proud and even more envious of what Paul and the team are doing, I'll be checking their progress as often as possible.

Victoria and Paul, I'm only round the corner! I'll be keeping an eye on you! Should I see any smoke from my immediate South East I'll be straight on the phone to your Mum. Can't beleive he's been gone 5 days and I haven't been called to repair any leaks!

Wayne.

Seriously Worried

erm.........i had a text from oblertone saying he had a sore bum........i presumed this was from riding one of the scooters........if it's the case that they have NOT been riding the scooters.........................just how "close" are this lot????

That's not what it says here :- http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40416

We’ll do it on Honda C90’s…

12 of them in fact, plus two spares .

Yep, I’m serious, I want 12 riders to accompany me across Europe, down through Morocco, across Mauritania and the Sahara desert, down through Senegal and across The Gambia to their final destination.

The 12 on bikes will be supplemented by two drivers who will pilot the support vehicles- I envisage them all swapping around regularly so that everyone gets to ride and drive regularly.

I have just been talking to Steptoe, Fanum and the Irish Tossers on a dodgy Skype connection from Fez. All sound to be in great form.

Pics to follow in a few minutes.

TITS update & pics from the Irish Tossers

Aidan,

We left Ceuta this morning with the intention of heading to Azrou.
Crossed the border to Morocco with no major issues and the roads were
fantastic. We stopped for a bit to eat and then headed off again but
only got a few yards down the road before we came across a few
T.I.T.S in trouble! Dennis had a puncture and between them all they
did not have a pump or patches due to the 'support' vehicle being a
day behind with its own problems! Fortunately Brian had all the
stuff that they required to allow them to limp on.

We stopped three times within 10 minutes as the tyre would not stay
inflated. Eventually we found a repair shop that fixed for less than
the price of the three cans of Coca-Cola that Brian, Jochen and
myself had while were waiting. Now it was getting late and very dark
and we decided to use our headlights to full effect by accompanying
them to Fes which was another 2 hours away in pitch darkness. It was
pretty painful riding for 2 hours at a top speed of 38 mph!

Jochen and I put 50% brighter bulbs in before we left and tonight we
kind of regretted it as the oncoming traffic was pretty aggressive.
One truck tried to run me off the road at one time. You might notice
the extra headlights I fitted before I left on the handlebars!

Arrived into Fes, had a meal and great laugh with the lads (and
Jaq). Currently sitting in the bar with our fellow tossers. Now not
terribly sure of our plans for tomorrow but will keep you posted when
we know. A few beers may settle the problem!

Regards,

Errol.

P.S. Can you duplicate this post for the TITS part of the forum?
Will send more photos of us in the bar later!!!!

Still stuck in Chefchaoun

Me and Ian qre still stuck in Chef waiting for the truck to be fixed. Pump is in but rad is coming this morning - inshalla -

Spent the night eating a cold omlette and bread, plus a smuggled box of vino collapso in the hotel as the restaurant was closed. Glad the others managed to get on the piss

Hopefully the van will be ready around midday so we will be on our way. Not sure where to though as we haven,t heard from the pissheads in fez yet.

Ian has been adopted by the locals and is called Ali Baba all the time by everyone.

Steve & Ian
