Weather forecast

One thunderstorm again today but rain eased off. Forecast is dry for next few days but drizzle again towards end of week. Despite the "mild" description, Kobus says it is already very hot and he's bought an umbrella to tie to his rucksack - for the sun, not the rain this time though.
Due to the unpredicatable weather conditions, the route for the week hasn't been fixed but they have been promised it will be the toughest MdS to date. The organisers are concerned about the high humidity - apparently this is the main reason for people dropping out in the past - and they are issuing extra salt tablets and extra water.
