Up early to take the radiator out of the car & refit the exhaust. A few metres down the road was a welder who arc welded back the brackets which had come adrift.

Exhaust refitted we headed down to the petrol station to fill up. The petrol was carried out in large buckets & poured into a funnel.
After another 30kms of bad roads we started to overheat again. After a few stops to refill & check the distributor functioning, we decided that we wouldn’t get far & that maybe the problem was the head gasket.
Towed again, shocking roads, another moonlight trip along the Pang river to the hotel.
Not so many soldiers tonight & no checkpoints.
We arrived at 11pm, showered off the dust through which we’d travelled all day & fell exhausted into bed.
Big day for repairs coming up, roads still hard to believe.
