@Vanessa8580 - that was a spectacular drive, and great fun. Many thanks indeed. Duct tape included.
@Zed @ASAD. @Sunil Mathew @Waqas Parvez @AlexM @Pierre de Maigret - thanks for your support and general amusement at my latest disgraceful episode.
I am posting photos to the gallery, mostly taken by my co-pilot Nigel. Some of them very good. I include the latest pictures in his collection 'How not to drive in the desert the Andrew way'. Enjoy
