Rodded Out

New steering rod bought, tools collected, another 2.5 hour drive almost to Las Cuevas to fit the rod to the stranded Land rover. �Screw the ends in, drop it in and tighten up�, the army lads said. Lying in a jungle stream under a Land Rover with mossies buzzing in your ears, trying to tighten a nut with an adjustable spanner and some pliers is what it was.

Had to take the steering guard off, but after a few refits it went in okay. A fantastic sunset as we drove back over Mountain Pine Ridge, being met by and endless convoy of British Army vehicles. Not an everyday occurence.
