Following
the report yesterday that Chris Vernon had pulled
out of driving his Midget to South Africa, the good
news has just arrived that his trip is back on again!
The good news is the wounds from the dog bite are
healing well and a local doctor has found a new
course of injections - a course of 5 instead of
21- that Chris can take with him on the trip. |
Chris
says "thanks for your concern and that of the
other V8 members but the good news is that the trip
for me is back on. We have just returned from the
docks where we loaded the Midgets onto a barge for
Sudan. We follow on the smelly ferry in the morning
after I have had my wound dressed and another jab."
So the Odyssey continues . . . . . . .

Recent
developments
In his fifth report, Chris mentioned he had
been been bitten by a dog in Aswan in Southern Egypt
and, as it is a serious matter in that part of the
World, he was advised he would have to have a course
of anti rabies injections over the next three weeks.
He understood that they would only be available
only from hospitals or clinics so as there was no
guarantee that such facilities will be available
along much of the route Chris and Roy plan to take,
Chris had reluctantly decided he had no choice but
to withdraw from the challenge and make arrangements
to return to the UK. Fortunately he has been able
to get alternative advice and supplies of a course
of anti rabies injections he can carry with him. |
