Day 22 Aeroplane rendezvous

Today was another day off (!!)
We needed to do some planning as to how we progress - the KTM 450 has a tank range of 50 miles - and we need to complete 150 between gas stations !
Also, Caroline needed to meet up with the aeroplane, to fly back to Arizona.

We located an airfield near to Paisely - this was the best kept, most remote air field I've seen.
Phil was to be the air traffic controller for the day;



But first, he had to limber up;


Once the plane had arrived, we had a little fun;


So, now there is just Phil and I, and a support truck !!
We've just stocked up on fuel cans, and aim to carry 6 extra gallons of fuel on the bikes - so fingers crossed....

  1. looks like you've been going slightly stir crazy in the middle of nowhere, but all rested and ready for the final push.
    good to see you've been keeping the logistics together (just!) guess thats makes it all the more interesting
    good luck for the last bit
