731--Day 1 (Should have been Day 2!!!)

Greetings from the desert. After biblical floods on Friday and Saturday Day 1 of this year's MdS was cancelled and the organisers frantically sought a safe route and a dry bivi. They found one and we commenced Day 1 at the start point for day 2, at the foot of the Erg Chebbi and Erg Merzouga dunes, the largest in Morocco. We've both finished fine and strong and in a time that I think we are happy with. Legs hurt a bit, minor blisters and sore back, but nothing else. Packs weigh far too much, again!!

Off again tomorrow on what sounds like a circular route as the bivi is not being moved (now that they've found a dry spot!) We have no more ionformation than that, which has been a theme since Friday while we hung round in a hotel in Erfud waiting for news. Weather today has been hot and we've had no time to aclimatise as we have been taken from the hotel (in a cab as they didn't organise enough buses) and straight off, when we should now be spending our third night in the bivi.
