James and I conquered the dunes together

Seppy got in last night before it got dark but she needed to cook here dinner etc. so shell email soon. Thanks a million for all the emails, we had a small booklet last night. Nice that there will be some photos too. Our tent has renamed itself tent nieve. Today was dunes day . It also hit 4è degrees today and the overall distance was close to a marathon with 17kms of dunes. 9 dropped out but we are going well. Very few blisters so that is pleasing, no visit to doc trotters yet. Thanks also for the messages from the mds forum. Tomorrow is a double marathon but perhaps a bit cooler. It will be dark when we finish so no update tomorrow, just Thursday
