Right Around Africa

[OOOOMS]

Please note:

As of next month I am scheduling talks all over the country to raise the remaining funding needed to complete my trip around Africa.  :ricky:

WD talks are freeeeee, on the basis that anyone who wishes to contribute can do so. Or introduce me to potential sponsors I can hound.

Sooooo....if you'd like me to give a talk in your area, get a group of dogs together and drop me a message!  :thumleft:

Hmmmmm.....sounds great, waiting to see the list!

If there is a talk gonna be held down here in CT,.... I will most definately be there  :thumleft:

And so the visa applications start again. Busy with my Libyan business visa which will cost me a cool R3,5K.  :eek7:

My contacts in Algeria and Tunisia have been amazing in helping me with route planning and general info.  :thumleft:

But now they're starting to send me daily "Kidnapping" reports with location shots.

Better the devil you know, I guess. But still rather disconcerting!  atch:

Like this was yesterday's update:

Dankie. Ag wat, hulle sal in elk geval jammer wees as hulle my kidnap....sal hulle oor die rand dryf! LoL
Die kids se bangles is veilig. Wou dit al af stuur...maar gedink ek wil dit eerder self vir hulle gee.  :thumleft:

 

[Roela]

Ja, moenie stuur nie. sal baie beter wees as jy self gee.  Anyway, hoop jou blokkies val reg!

I've downloaded my GPS log of the trip so far for anyone interested. It's a bit big (2,5mb) so I've broken it up to allow me to upload it here.

I'm not sure which format is best?? So I'm going to try upload the .gdb format first (I have it in garmin database format .gdb, and in .kmz format)

Here goes....

 

[jorust]

Shit....the .gdb files are too big.
Okay, uploading .kmz files.  atch:
