In the foliage, work teams, united in a common goal, temporarily pushed back the invasion of the plant life and filled in gullies three feet deep to allow the precious extra millimetres to pass. Only as dusk fell, after fourteen hours on the go, did the teams find a forest clearing for a camp site. It has been the best day for Camel Trophy so far. I realize that we can't always have mud but the work it took to get the teams through the jungle was just as rewarding. I will sleep very well tonight.
Every muscle hurts.
The Spanish Road is the start of the return journey of Camel Trophy Mundo Maya '95 back to its starting point, Belize. Only if conditions are favorable, will the convoy reach the Maya site at Xunantunich next week for the final series of competitive Special Tasks.
