Day 14 & 15 Through Ethiopia and on to Kenya.

Day 14 started with 2 gravel stages, where we set the fastest time, then after this a tarmac run to our overnight stay  after negotiating Addis Ababa, both challenging and traumatic.

Day 15 saw the day start with the leader board largely unchanged, the 911 guys are running very well, fast car, good team and very helpful to the rest of us. Andy in the lead car should also do well, having good ground clearance.  Tomorrow I think will be the toughest challenge we have yet faced and I predict there will be a massive shake-up in the leader board with time differences reaching into hours rather than minutes as we tackle what is reputed to be the roughest road in the world.
