News update from Namibia

Hi
We received email today with the following news:

Dear Competitors,

Our course director, Dave Annandale, is currently in Southern Namibia
putting the final touches on the course. He is reporting that it gets down
to almost 0 C (32 F) at night and reaches between 35 and 40 C (95 - 104 F)
during the day. He is also now reporting very light winds in the early
stages of the course. Remember that it is likely to be very windy on Stages
5 and 6. We have updated the website with a brief description of each
stage. A complete Course Book will be provided to you in Namibia.

We also wanted to clarify two Mandatory Equipment List questions that we
have been receiving. 1. You must bring a pair of tights (or long pants) to
wear, and you must bring a lightweight jacket with lining (or a lightweight
jacket with base layering underneath). It gets chilly at night, and since
it gets dark before 6 pm each day, some of you may end up spending part of
every stage in the dark. Please see attached Mandatory Equipment List with
Tights and Jacket items clarified.
