Overnight Mark is setting a camera trap to see the wildlife that comes near to the team camp. Despite last night sandstorm, the camera has picked up several different animals in its lens.
The wind and driving sand have been the big factors of todays journey, so this update comes from the shelter of one of the expedition Land Rovers. One of which was provided by an expedition sponsor and the other is Mark’s own beloved 110 Defender.
Today Mark walked with expedition photographer Ana-Maria Pavalache and he describes how they were introduced, what inspires him about her incredible photography and the way she is able to capture desert stories through her lens.
Looking ahead, tonight the team are camped about 10 kms from Jalan Bani Buali which they will visit tomorrow before heading further inland.
