Leaving Basecamp 1 at about 6:30 AM, we embarked on more back roads. At one time these roads had been at least gravel, but now they are severely potholed and overgrown with vegetation. The trip was a bit slow, many had to stop and repair and re-arrange their overburdened roof racks. We refuelled at Kuala Kurun and we are now at Basecamp2. We are near the crossing of Sei Hanyu (Hanyu River), about 20 jeeps have already crossed over and are spending the night there.
The weather has just been hot and dusty. We have had to go without airconditioning in the car due to the engine overheating. Our brake pads also started to heat up quite a bit at a very long downhill section.
All is well so far, one incident involving Competitor #15 and a scorpion occurred in the night, but has been treated by the doctor travelling with us. All 6 motorcylists are still with us (another motorcyclist joined a bit late).
Small note: we are having problems with photos, so our apologies to all. We will upload them soon.
