00:11instead of being able to take this right hand curve here it went over the edge it rolled over
00:17twice into this ravine and the truck is now stuck in that position there's one crew member inside

00:30realize what was happening there was only the drop in front of us and the message I've lost my brakes
00:36I've lost my brakes we fell into the void and we didn't know what had happened until it we stopped
00:42I was just holding on and everything happened so quickly and smoothly at the same time we didn't

00:58went over the parapet and plunged into the ravine and we finally stopped you know the nerves have
01:04camped a bit luckily we're okay and there was help on hand to get us out it's not the easiest time but
01:13it's not the time to work out what went wrong maybe tonight once we get back to the bivouac
01:18we're gonna try and get the truck back on the track back on its wheels properly at least get
01:27it back on the road then we'll see if we can manage to get it towed away a tough day too for

02:09three hours dropped needing to discover some turbo charge and some progress made but today's effort
02:15was good enough for sixth everyone suffered punctures but for Martin Masik he was left with a choice

02:53punctures we were fighting with my chick the first hundred kilometers we sent him all the time but
