Day 59 Alti Plano Bushcamp to Meteor Crater Bushcamp
I realised today that I actually was beginning to enjoy the un-paved sections! Soon after we left the road changed to an un-paved dust track which was made worse by the almost continuous cross wind which was sometimes a headwind. This created many dust/sand storms along the way. Lunch was about halfway as usual and after lunch the road got worse and so did the dust storms. It was beginning to become a slog to get to bushcamp which was reached after 82K beside a Meteor Crater. Pitching tents was quite hard as the wind did not lessen until around 6pm. After dinner, which we took in the shelter of an unfinished chapel, most of us went to our tents only to hear the wind rise and more dust storms hit us for most of the evening until just before midnight! After which it dropped and we could have another cold quiet night.
