Day One in Malawi
Martin writes... Add one blue Land Rover, mix it with a Yellow 110 and you have one broken starter motor and one damaged rear drive member. And so it was that the Blue and Yellow drove up to the Tanzania - Malawi border.  The border crossing was uneventful - even with John crawling under his yellow 110 to remove the propshaft!

Shortly after the border more clunking noises were being emitted from the yellow 110.  This time it was the hand brake drum rattling away - normally it is held in place by the propshaft.  A couple of additional washers soon sorted out the problem.

Friendly Malawian kids

Whilst the repairs were being undertaken, Debs enjoyed a quick bike ride with some of the local kids.


Can a Mzungu ride a bike?
