Day 16

Today we started heading east accross Turkey to be in Trabson by Saturday evening.

For a change the only vehicle issue came from the Land Rover when Simon reported that the oil pressure gauge had gone to the extreme right hand end of the scale to read 5 bar, instead of it's normal 2.5. Engine oil pressure is usually only a problem when it is too low, it doesn't suddenly jump to double it's normal value, so a faulty sender was suspected.

This was confirmed at the "wild" camp site in the evening. Oil pressure senders don't like the vibration from (diesel) engines very much.

Did I forget to mention yesterday's Baja problem? The children (as us older folks have taken to calling them) got a bit lost when trying to find our camp site and drove along a very rough track, probably at their usual "too fast" speed, snapping the top off a front shock absorber.

  1. So that makes you 'parents' then. Mmmmmmm not very good at it are you. You let your kids get lost, then let them go too fast and then let them break their toy!
