Just copied this from another thread - will hardly worth them going to bed tonight!! Day 2: After an early breakfast we have a detailed briefing and then leave for the five-hour drive to M’Hamid, our starting point. Our drive takes us over the Jebel Sarhro Mountains and down the ‘Valley of a thousand kasbahs’ into the desert. We have a brief stop in Zagora to buy a shash (native headscarf) and have our last cold drink before the heat of the desert. On arriving at the starting point we have lunch while the cameleers load up the camels. Our late afternoon trek takes us firstly across flat open plain and then into Erg Lihoudi, our first taste of small dunes. We make camp at the edge of the dunes for the night.Walk 3 hours

Hi Jill, I hope Anna will be able to keep up the texts but Diana doesn't think they willl be able to. Too far from a mast aparently. I gave Diana the messages & as she was eating I read them out for her. They were really touched to get them. Vivienne
