4 euros/minute

4 euros/minute is the price of a satellite phone call from Oued Ahssia to announce a brilliant time of 11hours and 4 minutes for 75.5k!! Phenomenal. I thought he would do 13-14 hours, so clearly once again Paul is surpassing expectations. He says he would like to have got under 11 hours......typical.
He sounded very chirpy and relaxed, still just the 2 blisters, but is now missing a leisure sock and his foilbubble stove windshield due to a windstorm last night - for the first time he didn't repack his rucksack - lesson there for us all...... He asked me to thank EVERYONE who has emailed and sent messages of support, they are much appreciated and he said to keep sending them!!
So a rest day tomorrow when he can look at a bit more sand...then marathon Friday and 10m ish Saturday......

Signed, Mission Control.
