Just back from what is possibly my last ride on Petit Bandit for some time.
During my ride I received two phonecalls, both informing me that the Army has not fled Mopti/Sevare. There was some movement of army vehicles and rumours started spreading that the Army had taken flight. Instead they are regrouping it appears. But nevertheless I have decided to leave for Segou and then on to Bamako on Tuesday: just a week or two earlier than planned.

I am very glad to hear that you are on your way to Bamako! There is not much detail to read on the BBC about what's happening but of course we have heard the latest on Timbuctoo. Please take care over the next few weeks. Thinking of Mali with affection and very much hoping that things start getting better.
