The route for day 3





Day 3 is the longest for far with 37km. Thankfully not as many dunes but still some smaller sandy stretches. Slow and steady is the mantra for today to keep some energy in the tank for the 'long day'.

Dear family, friends and all you other [lovely!] people -  So.  If you have seen us during the past 6-12 months then you know (and we promise to shut up about it SOON(ish) so you can soon(ish) stop avoiding us…) We're doing Marathon des Sables. 250km over 7 days across the Saharan Desert – that translates to 6 marathons plus 10km …since they give us one rest day in between they require us to do 80+km on one day.

Here's what you can do to help us (if you believe we can still be helped): If you want to know how we are (more or less live) check in here from time to time. We will have patchy reception and can only send one email per day We can  RECEIVE as many encouragement emails  as you can write. So please please please  write  to us. To encourage us (or remind us we are mad). Put Wednesday 10 April in your ...

The last two days have definitely taken their toll with four more blisters between us (three for Jan, one for Kim).  Legs are tired but aches and pains mostly in check and if how we felt this morning after a good enough night's sleep is anything to go by, we may not be exactly fresh as daisies tomorrow, but certainly cheerful and absolutely DELIGHTED that we never ever ever have to do 13km of dunes again. Ever. For us it's decided: MdS (provided we finish!) is definitely a ONCE in a lifetime thing!   T...
