After the exertion of the last few days, Day 7 feels like a stroll. We're given the Solidarite charity T-shirts before starting and the runners are a sea of blue. Solidarite is the charity set up by Patrick to specifically benefit the area that we run in. It has raised millions over the years contributing to the well-being of the local community.
Chris and I walk together, taking our time up and down the dunes, for some reason we're both a bit stiff! We meet many locals and the kids pester us for souvenirs, they get my roll-up sleeping mat and my bright yellow buff.
We saunter into Merzouga another desert frontier town. After 7km, we've finished the charity stage and the 235km of the 2018 MDS. It's over!....
We're loaded onto coaches ready for a 6hr ride. Arthur the Chicken is now resting.
What's that colourful L-shaped spongy thing on the coach? Oh, it's a seat! This must be the Highway to Heaven...
