Day 17 - Cars starting to feel the pressure
Run around to see if any beach to give away surfboards, no joy. Leave with boxy but good at 10 with tom in the Volvo. Volvo conks out. Eventually a passing truck mechanic generously sorts it out. Lovely guy we give him a football, bracelet and shirt! We lose a few hours, get going again.
Next up we find the Wheelchair Warriors broken down. Several more hours to remove the differential to prepare so we can tow it to a town. Only traveled 150kms today, not good. 1500kms to Bamako.
Push on with boxy team. Make better time, dodging donkeys, cattle and camels which are now always straying into the road. Get as far as a dusty outpost called Aleg by nightfall. Find an auberge to eat and sleep.
