  • Here it is, the second episode of my 'Dakar Diaries' @officialDakar 2023
    Getting the first couple of days under my belt, I was looking forward to the Rally starting properly on January 1st. But first of all, Prologue Day. Sorry, about the audio!
    Part 3 next week, where I get the first full stage out of the way and wonder what on earth have I taken on!
    I hope my camera skills don't stop you from enjoying these!
    Don't forget to ask any questions in the comments below, I will get to them.
    A massive thanks to all my personal sponsors and everyone who got involved to get me to @OfficialDakar Rally 2023.

    The paddock reminds me of a mini camp Bastion it’s huge, Sandy and really flat and surrounded by nothingness! Amazing

    bit late coming to the party but enjoying so far watched the freebie coverage on youtube but never spotted you so have no idea how you got on, enjoying your story telling so far, your remarks and attitude could be anybodies except perhaps the lack of ability to see signs🤭 looking forward to more, thanks for posting.

      There are close to 4,000 people in a bivouac, including competitors, mechanics, team staff, rally officials, medical staff and press representatives. (according to Google)
