Here is one of our wild campsites in Morocco. Looks quite nice in the photo, but the ground was hard as iron and there were shed loads of burrs and spikes! Plus we had a bit of interest from a load of kids living in a nearby slum.
Just outside Cairo at Giza, checking out the pyramids on some very over-priced camels. We got ripped off so badly! They cost us over 30 quid for just a couple of hours. We must have been seriously dehydrated to get stung for so much!
Sphynx. Pretty standard. A couple of American girls hit on us at the Sphynx, wanting to follow us round all day. No joke! In a move Dan Maranhao would be proud of, we said we already had a couple of camels with us.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres are not puncture-proof or flatless as they claim! Here a nail from some Jordanian road went right through the reinforcing and out the other side. Dead flat. A quick road-side repair and we were off in 15 minutes. Duncan got some more sweat out when reinflating in the 40 degree heat!
Here is a typical view of some desert cycling. Road goes into the distance, but what the photo doesn´t show is the heat from the headwind, which felt like a hundred hairdriers blowing over you. We both got very dehydrated that day, with thick slime lining our mouths and throats, and lips cracking.
Here is Geoff Lord, AKA "The Hero", who sorted us out with accommodation, food, and advice throughout our 5 day stint in North Cyprus. Great lad, and some stories probably aren´t best shared here!
A good recovery meal! A keg of lager, Turkey´s finest Efes no less, five frozen breaded cods each, and 500 grams of pasta. Lovely. Hopefully that fish went to our legs and heart, and that booze straight to our brains!
The weather girl on a channel called Star in Greece is amazing. She does some sort of dance while doing the weather, has a great uniform, and clearly has an erotic background. Perfect. I didn´t catch whether it was going to rain or not.
