Guys, I need some help. I am driving to Willowmore with my own car. Therefore leaving my car in Willowmore the Saturday. I have arranged for someone to take my car to Jeffreybay, but he's bailed on me. My team and support vehicle will also be in Jef's and will not be going past Willowmore when driving back home.

 

Is there anyone here who's driving back to Willowmore sometime during Sunday or will there be transport back to Willowmore? Or any other ideas. Riding my bike back to Willomore is not an option

There are usually a lot of support vehicles with 2 or 3 people in them and all the support drivers usually go through to J-Bay and spend the day there until they have to meet up with the teams at Komdomo. I'm sure there will be someone who will be wlling(if you can trust them) to drive your car through for you.

Glad to see I'm not the only one stressing, on my way back from a 10day stint in the Solomon Islands and missing the last 2 weeks of training so will take it easy - hboli4 and your team looks like we will be spending some riding time together looks like an 18 hour bus is in the making. L

Have also missed the last 2-3 weeks training due to flu. Yip, 18hrs is our goal and anything quicker will be a bonus. Have to save my legs a bit as well as I'm leaving for Russia on the Monday for some mountaineering...

Last I heard there are crossings from 30cm deep up to 1.2m deep.

Any update on the river crossings.

The medical kit in your car should have a space blanket in it.
