I (thanks to loan of an N95 from Stef) posted (nay streamed) live video from the bus through the day via Qik. It comes across as a series of outtakes from “Charlie Borman moans in the Desert” or whatever the programme is called where he talks breathlessly to camera and rides a motorbike. Luckily they’re archived, so here they are again:
