Hopefully with the use of the current broadcasting technology we will be able to link up to witness the mysteries of our universe and recruit more enthusiasts all over the world to participate and contribute in these new frontiers . We wish you all thee best as the endurance race has notched up to another urgent level from Ladysmith ( Kwazulu Natal ) in a corner of South Africa where we have had all the seasons in one day , Charles and friends .

The reason for the new labelling is to demonstrate how many days driving it takes. The delays which we have had and the large number of press events, all which have been well documented, have contributed to a delay longer than we had thought. However, since Quito we have been bang on the adjusted schedule and we have an arrival date in Ushuaia very firmly in mind...we don't have enough resources to do this forever! Would love to go north to Brasil, and indeed we have been invited by many people, but we do not have the money to continue the trip in that fashion. Kind Regards, Alex Hi Brian,

I'm guessing this is because the trip is taking much longer than the 84 days anticipated. Both bits of info are useful and of interest. How about using a format like "Day ***; Driving Day *** topic" or "Day *** topic"? Do you even worry about resetting the arrival date for Ushuaia? Any plans to drive north, say to Brazil, as xof1 was going to do? Thanks. -brian At some point the posts began using “Driving Day” rather than the sequential day of the trip.
