The sand blasted my face with such force that the top layer of skin must have joined it as it flew past. Excellent my very own desert scrub bath. I braced myself as the 4x4 crashed round another 40ft sound dune! "bend your knees" I hear Scott shout over the gale from his position standing beside me on the back of the truck hanging on for dear life!

We had hit the area known as Wadi Rum earlier that morning. It is an incredible alien landscape with giant rocks literally exploding out of the earth. We did sum scrambling up the rock face before racing down the dunes at full sprint. That night we spent drinking mint tea around the campfire with a local Bedouin tribe whilst sleeping under the stars to the sound of wild dogs howling and camels belching!

I awoke at 5.30am as the sun hit my face bringing back into the world!
