We left early around 04:30 to avoid the mess at Mbudzi roundabout, we being Woods, Daniel and I three abreast in the front of Carruthers. Apart from topping up the gearbox and transfer box, a sort of ritual now, there was nothing else to do. The rest of our group, being Barnie and his 12 year old son Matthew would join us in a few days, so this necessitated taking all the food and drinks with us in the back, canvas sides firmly secured to keep it from bursting out. All good, but forget the rear view mirror.
The Beit Bridge road is now excellent and even through Gutu the potholes have all been fixed. Once one reaches the Masvingo to Birchenough bridge road you know you are in the lowveld and the sweat begins pouring. The lunch break was had under a large roadside shade tree and as Woods put out the bread and bully beef we simultaneously burst into song - "They're eating the dogs....."
