I'm thinking about how much my downwind leg would hurt after 2500 miles in the buggy. Showers, bed? I guess they have some hospitable places to stay
from time to time but there will be many nights under the stars on a trip like this I imagine.

As some of you are aware two Australians and two New Zealanders have embarked on a 2500km race across the Sahara Desert. Dubbed the 'Mad Way South',
the challenge will see adventures Craig Hansen, Steve Gurney, Geoff Wilson and Garth Freeman attempt to cross the Sahara Desert in modified Peter Lynn
buggies using wind power alone. To make things interesting the boys have received identical kites ( Peter Lynn Reactors, Cores and Synergies ) and
will race in two teams ( Aussies v Kiwis ) across some of the most hostile terrain in the world.
The adventure is to help raise funds for the 'She Rescue Home' in Cambodia. The boy have set a target of raising $100,000 so if people would like to
find more information about the charity or how to make donations then you can go to http://www.madwaysouth.com/index.ews
I'd rig up a jimmy-rigged cruise control on a long trip like that :D. some sort of rod that holds the front wheel in place so my legs could rest and a
hook on the buggy that i could put the kite onto?? lol, that'd be sweet :D

Man, I read some of their posts and started reading some wiki articles about that reagion. I did not know that there is this great Wall, and that
Western Sahara was a battlefield for 16 years! I hope they won't run into a mine on accident.
Sounds like the Buggies are getting pretty beat-up, but I am surprised that they had not anticipated this. I'll bet Sand Yeti has a wistful smile on
his face. I had not thought of land mines, though. sheesh.
My 10.8m Reactor has apparently been written off, as the good folks at PL are sending me an RII version as a replacement

Written off? Ouch... At least you are getting a replacement.
I've done about a half day on the Sahara, talk about sweetness, just stay on the high side of the windward dunes and all will go well, Find yourself
on the lee-side of a 160ft tall dune AND YOU'RE WALKING. Not to mention on the Lee-side the sand is knee deep,
I'd also get those knobby tires off that buggy, and get some reduced smoothies.
unfortunately I was on a PL Classic Bigfoot from 1995 when we hit the Sahara
