On 16th August 1991, my brother, Dan, and I set off on the first leg of a long distance cycle journey which was to take us from Hampshire in the UK to Cape Town. We cycled 17,000 kms in a year through some parts of Africa which closed to outsiders after we left them. We cycled through the Sahara, through tropical rain forests, savannah and cities. We wrote diaries and letters but never published them.

This website is the start of the process of publishing my diaries and memories of that adventure which had a major impact on our lives.

Hi Si!

Thanks for your enthusiasm! It's taking a while to write up my notes but I am getting there.

SO far, it's going to be about the ride but I may do more. I' following a number of people who are doing similar rides now and it's great to compare notes.

Hope all's well

Will
