They should do quite nicely in helping with your preparations.Plus if you like, a nice jog across the Nullarbor should ensure that you have no problems with the Sahara. At the same time you can send the shadows off to some great holiday spots.

But always best to stop before permanent injury sets in.I know your not feeling great about your experience now, but that will change. Congrats on this accomplishment (and yes, it is an accomplishment).Martin
