Day 1 completed in 8 hours

Very good steady progress (the 10 minute intervals shown along the route by the tracker device are pretty evenly spread). 29 km in exactly 8 hours. The last person in was 57 minutes behind Kobus, so he's not keeping the camels company this time.
Looks like a few people didn't manage to set off, or at least didn't manage to make the first checkpoint, and one person sadly stopped before the 2nd checkpoint - must be devastating to stop before the end of the first day.
If Kobus manages to keep up his water intake and has reasonable meals then he should do well tomorrow. As for everyone else, let's hope they took up the offer of free ear plugs and all get a decent night's sleep.
