Nicky's MDS - Day 1

Nicky's MDS - Day 1
Posted by Alf.
Hi Facebook land,I now understand how James Cracknel’s other half feels. Nick’s always on my mind, from todays route map I can imagine her, crossing those dunes, enduring the heat, thirst, weight of the back pack & looking out for Check Points 1 & 2, then eventually Base Camp2 . Though I know she has put in all the miles, is mentally strong & determined, we are willing her on all the way.I hope she is looking after her feet, pacing herself well enough to take in the beauty of the desert & bring back lots of stunning images.Been watching Nick’s progress & webcam all day, got no work done, but it’s been worth it, unreal, so exciting. Saw Kerry & Jill having their photo taken on the finishing line & Nick 10 mins later (16.48.20) 7hrs 48mins, I’ve asked her to slow down at next finish line to ensure the webcam sees her number & give us all a big smile & a wave. They all looked really good at the end of stage 1, so proud of Nicky, bet she could murder a cold beer, well water will have to do for now, so I’ll have one for her instead.Till tomorrow, Alfie
