Day 14 - Rally Driving In The Sand

By Sahara Surf Team Monday, 26th January, 2009

Went sand rally driving for a while and then we hit some serious sand. 2kms of soft sinky stuff. All cars stuck even the 4×4. Get the Nissan sports car, 4×4 and Audi out at high speed. But van and Peugeot stuck fast. Not budging.

Guide can’t move them so goes for help to see if he can find the other group at a village and some 4×4s to tow them. So, the rest of us now sat in the sand dunes and sun hoping he finds someone. Not great by any stretch. Have a cuppa and cross our fingers. Others back no joy. They go again with guide for main road and town at end of park to bring help in the morning.

So 7 of us left spending the night somewhere in the dunes of the Sahara, bush camping without a guide. Not quite to plan. Hope he finds us again. A little jittery shall we say but amazing quiet and stars.
