SAND & SEA




At midnight on the evening of the cancelled Valladolid concert the decision was made to send the trucks to El Ejido near Almeria southern Spain. After a 12 hour drive we arrived in el Ejido to remarkable cool weather for that part of Spain and found out the concert there was cancelled too. As the day wore on the wind started to blow and by evening it had turned into a stinging full blown sand storm. It was almost impossible to work outside in those conditions. The following morning I set of for Twickenham and England. A drive of 2555 kilometres awaited me! As I headed up through France the air conditioning in the truck was turned off and the hot weather we have had during the past six weeks faded into the distant past. Thunderstorms were now the order of the day as I approached Calais and the car ferry.
