In 2009 I achieved a life long ambition to complete the Marathon des Sable.
The MDS was everything I hoped it would be and much more. I experienced a brilliant race with fantastic organisation in an environment that is both stunningly beautiful and surprisingly diverse. I also encountered some of the most remarkable and resilient people I have ever come across. Thankfully, I'm still in touch with many of them and am proud to call them my friends.
I think the write up would take forever to read and may bore you to tears, it was however a very personal event for me therefore as a get out I have compiled a slideshow of events.
