Not just for us but almost everyone    Dirt roads for 90% of the day in 35c.  But 4 S because<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Sump gard.     Without this today the Mini would be broken in pieces.  We spend so much of the day with rocks banging g underneath and \u201csurfing\u201d the middle part of the road ( trucks create big central ridges)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Seats.  We changed our seats for this rally and thank goodness.   They work well and allowed us to do 400kn today without being broken<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Satellite ( a ka a Garmin) this stops us getting loss and is vital across the desert<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Stress.    It was so tough on the car today ( see picture with rear window popped out).   The car was amazing and so many can\u2019t believe the Mini did so well today   Sadly we ran out of gas 15km before the end which meant we had a late penalty for arrival into camp<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly the camp is like mad max!! With wind blowing a gale and sand everywhere     More camping tomorrow of joy!!\ud83e\udd29 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"618\" src=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9320-1-1024x618.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9320-1-1024x618.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9320-1-980x591.jpg 980w, https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9320-1-480x290.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ran out of gas 15km from camp <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"515\" src=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9408-1-1024x515.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9408-1-1024x515.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9408-1-980x493.jpg 980w, https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_9408-1-480x241.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>400km of Gobi desert<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3669-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3669-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3669-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sump gard saved our mini <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3652-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1047\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rear window popped out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3670-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1048\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Love our seats <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3674-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3674-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/henshall.com\/p2p2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/img_3674-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ford escorts <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was the toughest day of the rally so far.
