It was great to see you both you’ll need to stop off again on your way back. I hope all is well in the Congo and that you are looking forward to arriving back in the beautiful Gambia.
Can’t wait to hear how you get on with the first leg of the 700 miles!
We are all truly grateful for your support here at the Eden Project and the Gardens for Life programme. Thank you!!
Much love
Don

I don’t know If I said it already but …Great site…keep up the good work.
I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks, 
A definite great read..Jim Bean

Hi there
Thank you so much for stopping by. We are about a week away from flying down to W Africa so its all cylinders firing!! We’ve actually been asked to blog for Adventure Travel Magazine on-line so we have set up another blog and we’ll eventually wind this one down. The AT one is up already and has a few new images etc on it. Please take a look: http://adventuretravelblogs.com/700miles/
thanks again
