All set and ready to go...

From texts from Kobus today:
"The new first stage is going to be really tough it has 16km of sand dunes it start with 12 and end with 4. Don't know what is in between or total length. They expect many drop outs. Keep you posted."
Kobus says the sand dunes are massive - each one equivalent to climbing over the Malverns, and for 16km as the crow flies.
"Just passed the medical. Had to beg and talk them to death but did it. I am now officially in."
The doc finally gave in, but not content with that, Kobus got him to sponsor him 100 Euros if he completes the course without having to be put on a drip.
"Also had 3 interviews with the press and a photoshoot. Now if I don't make it I will be the biggest big mouth twat in Morocco"
Other news: Kobus has tested his Full English Breakfast today and says it is the best ever. True to form, he's still doing his preparation and training as for Master Chef, not the MdS! All the checks and medicals have now been carried out and the first stage starts after an early breakfast tomorrow.
