They meet up with 17 Pakistani members of the 4X4 Offroaders Club Karachi who drove to Taftan in a convoy of seven jeeps to welcome Marianne (Maz) Towns, her husband Alex Towns, and Martin Pitwood, and then drove back with them to Karachi, on a five-day journey that through Saindak, Qilla Ladgasht, the Mashkel salt flats, Palantak, Panjgur, Saka Qalat, Besima, the Nal valley, and Khuzdar.
