All parked up and ready for lunch... ©
Here's some clips just in from the team, with Ewan to tell us about the food and the ride through Tunisia so far…
'This is our lunch stop, our first day in Tunisia, and we've had fantastic barbequed lamb…So we're in Tunisia. It's been our first day riding in the heat. Its 32-34 degrees today - it's very, very hot! But it's been a lovely ride down, the traffic's been quite calm – not nearly as frenetic and crazy as I'd thought. So we'll push on further down to Libya tomorrow. We're having a great time.'
And from Ewan and Charley …
Charley: Thanks everyone so much for all of your comments, its fantastic, and we're really enjoying them so keep them coming. And keep watching because we're constantly doing new stuff, aren't we?
Ewan: We are, we're continuing on, so thanks for all of your messages on the BBC website. We're getting to read them and we're enjoying them very much. So keep them coming in!
We asked if you had a message for the guys - here are your comments.

In Awe
I just want to say that being married to an avid biker and travelled many many miles around England & Scotland on the back of his bike i know how painful it is, and i am in awe of yo both especially as you are doing it for charity. I have been listening to your interviews on the Chris Moyles show and if there was anyway i could record and send you the Moto GP i would. From an awe struck Jayne.

Inspiration
LWR and Race To Dakar have been a real must watch for me (and my wife) I dream of following your steps some day and seeing the world on 2 wheels. My uncle drove from Hong Kong back to England in a Fiat 125 in the 70's so the travel spirit is in the blood. Good luck guys I hope it continues to go well for you all. Charlie - can you use your links to the BBc to get a 2 wheel version of Top Gear on the Tv...Please!!!!
