As of 9 this morning, Ed was in base camp, about 100km east of Tazarine, along with 700+ other runners. He was making his last phone call before turning in his travel bag and all other non-essential items. At 2pm today, he will be self-sufficient, carrying everything he needs for the next seven days on his back. The good news is he's able to trim his load even more (no luxuries at all!) and everything so far has gone well. But he is scared at what's up ahead.
Wha exactly is up ahead? 29km the first day, 33 the second, 35 the third, 70 the fourth, rest the fifth, 42 the sixth, then 11 the last. But the last day is all sand dunes! It is a circular route that takes them to a place called Merzouga.
