| Into the wadi.
Often, travelling was much quicker and
pleasanter in the wadi bed, especially
where the plains were strewn with large
lava rocks. The Bedford RL fitted with a winch was desirable, sometimes essential, to safely negotiate the banks of the wadi. |

| Puncture problems.
We suffered three punctures in less than
two hours. During the repair of the
third one, the vibrations of the engine,
started up to inflate the inner tube,
made the Morris come off the jack. We had to dig a big hole, then gradually jack up the lorry and pack wood under the axle to get the wheel back on. This was followed by a well-earned brew-up. |
