TDK - Day 2


This pic was taken early on day 2, which was billed to be a very long one, as it contained considerable climbing in sandy tracks - little did any of us know what was ahead of us!

Many of the camps had been set up close to local villages, the empty 5l water bottles (see 2 in the pic) were prized possessions!

The route for the day was a fantastic 16km single track (mostly along an elephant track) with tea at a look-out 100m over the Shingwedzi River. The next 33km were fine - albeit quite tough, but the 20km thereafter are a whole own story...
