K Kid,
i do appreciate what you're saying.
I'm not a big fan of paypal.
But at this late stage there's little i can do.
There is the postal option to the MAG Office. (thanks Linda :hug:

)

Appreciate the thought though.

I gather from other sources that they've made it into Morocco and are now bound for Western Sahara. Somewhat behind schedule due to mechanical & visa issues, but making progress.

As CQH said. Og phoned me on Wed from marrakech after having his first real morrocan meal

Landed in Spain on the 28th took 4 days to travel the length of Spain mainly on motorways they had to take a rest day to do some work on the bikes and car before heading for the ferry. Og has had trouble with his exhaust the float bowl tried to part company with the carb and he had a puncture all this happened on the motorways. His bike is now running well he's enjoying Morroco and looking forward to the desert. The visas for the Western Sahara took longer than expected so they had to take another rest day in Rabat on Tues. He will be out of touch completely for about a week as theres not much in the Western Sahara

Thanks Hanna much appreciated

Heard from Og last night. He's in Senegal at the zebra bar. He did 70 miles off road the day before and was obviously delighted. Says Senegal is the most corrupt country he's been in. He's lost weight not that he had any to lose. Taken loads of pics so when he gets the chance/home they'll be put up on the blog

I can nearly see the grin on his face from here.

Yes Tazzie he's enjoying himself. Has a slight problem with the tent he reckons that his sleeping pad is about an inch longer than the tent and the zip keeps popping open :lol:

but otherwise I'd say the grin goes from ear to ear

I'm back - and to prove it, i'm here! :mrgreen:

Apologies for the total lack of blog. between net access 'issues' you wouldn't believe
and quite simply no time due to the schedule i am way behind.
But i've kept a record and got 100's of pics :thumbsup:

a full report will follow as i can do it.
just back home this evening after a flght to gatwick the night before.
only naps since then. ended up getting a train and ferry from there today.

there was lots of rain, it rained until Mauritania, was cold - even snowed.
last dew days in incredible heat and sun - ended up in 50 and 60degrees (really) this week.
big skies - huge mountains - weird and interesting people -and that's just the ones i was travelling with!
best ride of my life-and all on a Honda C90!
Brilliant. just mind blowing.
that's it - i'm off to me comfywarm bed and Linda. :hug:
