High Flying Bird
Excuses first…Mauritania has shocking Internet speeds and thanks to an “idiot” in a campsite I lost all my data allowance and all my credit. So many thanks to the owner in Bab Sahara for not listening to a word I was saying and blindly pressing keys on my phone and so he allowed all my data to expire. This was further compounded by the fact I then ended up with 300MRU worth of voice i could not use and nobody sells the 100MRU top ups to recharge my data. Then once i did do this my SIM card (both UK and Mauritania) succumbed to the heat. This meant i had to start all over again…..anyhoo. We’ve not been treating poor Henrietta very well. She’s battered, bruised, damaged, dented, scratched and just hot. She’s had a new steering damper fitted as my last one was (we hope) causing death wobble. We’ve travelled some “roads” which the locals said were impossible. Been stuck in sand a couple of times and also watch others get stuck in sand. We’ve taken Henrietta to places no other Ambulance has been, EVER ! Here’s a video of one little bit of the BFGoodrich KM3 rock crawling. Now this looks a little tame but i can assure you it was not and in a 3800kg Ambulance. It’s hard work.
