As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

Day 294 of running the entire length of Africa and the world famous Sahara has well and truly arrived.
The biggest hot desert in the world is the last major obstacle standing in my way. Sun is lethal. Sand is unlimited. Even having to battle the local camels on the rob for my stash of @perfecttednrg
This is going to be the toughest part of the journey and I’m going to throw everything & the kitchen sink at it. Till the end boys & girls. See you in Tunisia🫡
