Dear shadow-watching fellows Next April I'll be taking part in the "Marathon des Sables", in the Sahara Desert (Marroc). This is the first time I participate in this kind of [crazy] adventure. My friends think I am mad. Maybe I am.
Has any of you heard about this event? Any experiences on crossing a desert? I am quite interested in learning everything I can: proper dressing, shoes, techniques to face sandstorms, orientation... Any hints will be most welcome. I know at midday I'll feel like a walking gnomon (mandatory reference to sundialling) under the inclement sun of the Sahara. - fernando -- Fernando Cabral Padrao iX Sistemas Abertos mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pix.com.br Fone Direto: +55 61 329-0206 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PABX: +55 61 329-0206 Fax: +55 61 326-3082 15º 45' 04.9" S 47º 49' 58.6" W 19º 37' 57.0" S 45º 17' 13.6" W
