Yesterday we got the all clear to resume taking part in the rally so today begins the challenge to catch up. The people are easy to move: we catch the dawn flight from Omsk to Moscow Domodedovo and then make an internal transfer onto theology to Kazan. Siberia Airways is entirely efficient and we and our baggage arrive in time for tea.
Meanwhile back East in Omsk, Vlad is picking up Emerald on his car transporter and beginning the trek to Kazan. It may sound crazy but it's the least bad option. With a fair wind we'll be in place to start with the rally for Nizhny Novgorod on Saturday. (And we can monitor Vlad's progress on the tracking facility on the ERA's website (you can too - it's great fun)).
We hope the outstanding issues with Emerald concerning oil pressure will be made apparent through the new warning light and that the new dipstick will enable us to maintain a satisfactory oil level well before the warning system comes into play. But these are as yet unproven and whilst it's a shame for us to miss some of the journey, it makes sense for us and the car to come to the place where the ERA is set up to provide support.
Mind boggling focuses. Sound contentions. Keep up the considerable work.
