This is it.... leaving Castlemoreton 19 August 2010

Tomorrow couldn't come soon enough!

Although the past 2 weeks have been invaluable in time to prepare and ready ourselves for our upcoming Africa overland adventure, we are literally chomping at the bit now.

It's time to head out .....

Castlemoreton (Worcestershire) has been fabulous. Christine and Martin have been wonderfully warm and generous hosts. Thanx Chris for all your input, help with planning, organising and generally being there in soooo many little ways. Not to mention all the laughs :)

10h00 Friday 20th August will see our expedition of 2 Landies heading south towards Kent where we'll spend the night with Richard, Leelee and family (yes, unfortunately we have had a drop off from Ros and John - John, we wish you the most speedy recovery post surgery - we'll definitely miss you guys, and would happily meet you mid Africa if things work out for you?)

Pic taken atop the Malvern Hills at a place called 'British Camp' which dates back to the Iron Age. Something different before Africa.....

  2. Hi Kim

    so good to finally be able to pick up comments and thanks a million for keeping yours coming through. Martin and I are at our wits end - we tried to get to Libya today but no go without visas - this after being advised we can get them at the border. our journey has been thwarted every step of the way - I have drawn the line for things to start moving by 22 October (iow we need to be in Zambia by then) or I will be heading home - will update the blog tomorrow, so you will be able to read all about it. Take care and thanks for your love and support - and for being in contact with Mike whilst I'm gone. lots of love xxx
