B kept me awake for hours last night with his "noisy thinking" - but it did pay off because he woke up with an alternative cause for the air leak. He took adifferent valve apart, stipped and cleaned it's innards and reassembled it. This seems to have fixed the leak, so we took the truck for a test drive, first of all only to the lodge, then to the cross roads, then almost to Fort Portal, buying bananas, cabbage, avocados, potatoes, tomatoes and onions at little dukas (shops) on the way. Total paid about £1.60! More importantly - no hissing of air, the pressure is building quickly and holding.
We are therefore planning a 2-3 day excursion tomorrow, so B has filled the water tank and we are cooking potatoes for another day.
In the hedge outside our door we saw a brown-crowned tchagra catching insects and feeding them to it's chick.
A disappointing feature of Uganda is the number of random people just asking us for money - children and to a lesser extent adults. Toady we were just parked at the side of a minor road when a man standing in the back of a passing truck made the "give me money sign" at us - we find it odd - who would ever actually give any money in such a circumstance?
