Jay arrived in Moyale on 28 September, with the challenge of needing to quote: "face the hell road to Isiola again! Aiming to take it real slow."
He arrived in a small village called Turbi on 29th September. Quote: "Road is just unbelievably bad! Cloud cover was a godsend though. Really helped the concentration." Google earth has not proved to be so hot in showing the road conditions, but I'm not one to give in easily and after much searching found just what I was looking for. Yep, that road is shit! Please see the images below.
News on 1st October: "Made big push today; was so sick of that damned road! It is just unbelievable! Dropped bike 3 times yesterday. Luckily not hurt. A Brit rider dislocated his shoulder, Portuguese rider broke his leg, just in last 3 days. Camping outside a town called Nanyuki, under mount Kenya tonight. Enjoying a much needed beer now. Will try to see lake Nakuru (loads of big pink birds!) 2moro before finishing in Nairobi. "
I don't know about you, but I be wanting something a little stiffer than a beer if I'd just been through that. In my case a triple shot of vodka or two : )
