Greetings from the Desert

Hello fellow bikers,

I just thought I'd keep you up to date with my last minute task to the hottest place on the planet.

I landed in the UAE, after almost 24 hours without sleep, on Tuesday and was greeted with 52 degree temperature and loads of work.

Managed 39 hours without sleep before an early wake up call and our first task in theatre which, thanks to the combat photographer, will be shown on either BBC or ITV news today or tomorrow, so look out for a rather sweaty me in Pakistan [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Anyway, I can't divulge too much info but I will keep you all up to date.

Hopefully I'll be back for the Camping trip but it looks like I'm here for at least another month :(

Take care all,

Emlyn xx

wondered why I couldn't get hold of you - it was me that called you today so you should have my number now - Still got your radiator and fan waiting for you to collect.

Give me a shout when you're back - I'll hang on to it for you

A sweaty man in uniform.... hmm.... ;)

Stay safe [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

BB easy tiger!

Hi Emlyn, we had hail yesterday :o
anything you need just shout, give us WB'ers a wave if you get another tv crew filming you.

Yep take care too.

Hi Emlyn.... saw the news on TVam but couldnt tell if it was you or not (it was 6.30am and my eyes really arent meant to focus at that time of the morning lol)
Anyway, stay safe n hope to see you on the camping trip [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Will keep an eye out for you! Sounds hot, hot, hot - not sure I could handle that - hope you make it back for Cornwall! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

sounds a bit too hot for my liking! stay safe mate

Just had the news that my skills are required out here for the forseeable :(

So it looks very unlikely that I'll be about for the Cornwall trip but I'm getting loads of camping experience in over here and I have lovely sunshine.

It's cooler today, it's only 48 degrees and that's in the shade :D

I'll keep you all informed of what's going on and I'll post some humanitarian photo's when I eventually get back [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

That's a pity Emlyn, it's going to be great :)

Although I wish it was a bit warmer here, I can honesly say that 48 in the shade would only be acceptable in an air conditioned bar, a pool or a gently lapping sea.

Stay safe mate.
