There was no big bang, no
severe swerving of the Landy - it was simply a tyre going flop flop that
indicated we had our first puncture. To be quite honest, I was disgusted!
I was hoping to make it all the way to Cape Town without a single puncture
- and now we had our first puncture on the best road we have travelled on! Grrr!
Debbie writes ... and now finally all our overlanding friends won't have
to hear Martin bragging about 'not having a single puncture through our
Africa adventure'. (But read the reasons below.) I must admit - it would
have been a good line ... but hey, we made it in one piece :-)

So here's
the rundown... the tyre that had the puncture was still part of the original
set that Colin (previous owner) had fitted for his overland trip in 2000. His original two spares had better
tread than my worst tyres, so I rotated and changed all the tyres in
Uganda.
The four new tyres I fitted are still going strong (without a puncture).
