Stage 4 – Fiambala to Copiapo, January 5th

A long liaison of 394km was followed by a special test of 203kms over the Andes and into Chile. Despite some altitude dizziness(heights of over 4,000m!)  it was a good day and a fast stage for Philip today with some interesting navigation required to get through.   The descent into Chile included a fantastic desert special so Philip enjoyed this despite some minor illness along the way. Stage 5 to Antofagasta promises to be tougher however so it’s all to play for but so far so good and Philip is bearing up really well as is his machine.
