January 6th 2011 - ‘A Short Walk in The Gambian Bush - 930km African odyssey’ expedition blog transfer is now complete. It seems fitting to have Florio’s ‘Kalaji at Dawn’ image up here as this signifies our journey so succinctly - being this was our little team, on the road, at dawn, every morning for 6 weeks.
Whats to come? Any further press or expedition related material that comes in from today onwards. Plus, news to follow shortly about our next BIG non-motorised adventure - twice as long and twice as far as A Short Walk, taking in four countries. However, it won’t all be walking this time but there will be a fair amount of ground and river to cover - around 3000km of it
Thanks to everyone who made the journey possible - particularly our Gambian team mates, Janneh, Samba and Momadou (and lets not forget the donkeys: Neil, Paddy and (p)Hadley from The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust). And thank you to all of you who have lived the journey with us, through the blog. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we have.
Watch this space for more on the next BIG expedition
