It's
confirmed. The new challenge of Carla Perrotti,
joined by the blind marathon runner Fabio Pasinetti,
to cross the Egyptian desert on foot, will take
place this November. Fabio and Carla will start
in the north of oasis of Farafra, in the white desert,
and arrive to the oasis of Dakhla about fifteen
days later. A trail of 250 km heading south. Their
path will run between high sand dunes, eliminating
the possibility of natural water resupply. That
is why water drops will be organized by the support
team. Every night the team will communicate the
position of the resupply through a satellite telephone
and Carla and Fabio will reply with their current
position. Other than that, Carla and Fabio will
make their crossing in complete autonomy and solitude,
in a completely new environment for Fabio, with
temperatures reaching 30°C in the day -3°C
at night.
