2009-06-03:
Distance today: 20.0 km (Accumulated: 13882.8 km)
Elapsed time: 02:07:23
Country: Africa

Start 08:30am., at small rockpile 90km S. of Moyale, on the main rd. to Nairobi. 20c, o.c. and m. wind. Finish 10:59am., atsmall rockpile 110km S. of Moyale, on the main rd. to Nairobi. 28c, half o.c. and same.
Nb: very thinly populated areas and no signs usable for finishpoint location on the main mudroad. Only option is to build rockpiles at roadside to mark the next days start (LifePilot sys. doesnt function here).

Road getting more rocky now. The trail - raugther than a "road" - left by the daily 2-3 trucks we meet have become dotted w. sharp volcanic stones. When having one of the fever-days often the energy and focus eases off towards the end and today was no different: fell and cut the hands as allready numerous times. Normally not a big prob. (just getting the wounds cleaned at next meeting w. the supportcar a few km up the road) but the deeper cuts poses a prob.when trying to set tent. Need to make sure not to fall anytime soon again ;-)
