"Support vehicles have arrived into camp Timnay, and set up what we can for the competitors (no sign of them yet). Good drive today, over some little hills (max alt. 7200ft). Looks like rain this evening, and it's a bit chilly too. Fortunately the site has warmish showers."
Update 6:31 PM: "Betsy and the rest of Team Iron have just thundered in.  " D3 HSE V8...

"Yesterday we drove a 12-hour extreme green lane. Red Dwarf and Team Defender set off 7 and 8 and came in 2 and 3. We would have been 1 and 2 if the Bowler had not held us up and allowed us to pass."

Camp Durti Day 3 "The wild dogs kept us awake last night, some of the campers were yearning for a high velocity rifle and a night sight....
...No sign yet of the posh brigade from their fancy hotels, but it's only early. 09:30 start today"

BAD NEWS 
"Blown the front diff on the 110, and a front drive on the D3. Both happened deep in the desert. Had to remove the drive shaft and continue with three-wheel drive in the disco.
We are no longer in the competition." D3 HSE V8...

"Team Iron won the team tourist class! We really did not expect it, but reliability worked in our favour with fewer time penalties, although our score was low, the other teams broke down too often. It's been an amazing experience, and now we are on the long journey home. Betsy is running reasonably well, the dunes were hard work for her, and hse needs a service.
Nothing we can't fix en route " D3 HSE V8...

"We’ve stopped in camp Tinmay again after a lazy (but actually surprisingly ttiring) 150 Miles. After tonight, we split – Nick, Tom, and I are going to drive non-stop through the rest of Morocco, Spain and France, then through the Channel Tunnel and up to the North West – hopefully some time on Thursday.
Gareth, Matt, Ron and Uncle Ray have planned a leisurely route back including the Bilbao Ferry"

"To convince any doubters, here is a photo of one of our trophies. There seems to be some confusion over who won what. As far as we are concerned we won the Tourist Class because Vince said so. Our trophy says Team Class.
But the main thing is we finished and had a really great time. Now sunbathing in the morning - Sun in Fes."

"Not much to do on the French motorways... Keep going straight on in 275 miles...
Not quiet as soul-destroying as arriving in Algeciras and having it tell you you have 1850 miles to go
We're on the Paris periferique now, planning to get a late train across the channel and be home in the early hours. "
