Reporting from race location

We will bring you updates as quickly as we can. There is no signal of any kind in the valley as it is a remote valley within the national park which has IUCN cat II status and so a protected area. However a Wi-Fi station has been set up in the valley for media use so this will be used to get updates out. It does not reach the river bank though, so we cannot do continues updates as it happens, they will have to be done in batches.
