I’ve published a collection of African “panoramas” (ie photo stitched pictures) on my flickr account. They’re pretty awesome, even if I do say so myself 
If I had known they would come out *so* well I would have taken a lot more of them.

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009I’ve published the best photos from my Tour d’Afrique 2009 expedition on Flickr.com here
I used Google Picasa to automate the process of uploading my photos to Flickr and Facebook. This article describes where to get the necessary Picasa plugins to make this a very straight forward process
African Nomad Safaris
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Throughout our trip the TDA have relied on the knowledge of a number of local guides. Sadly, in Ilongwe we said goodbye to Eddie who was our guide through Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi. Eddie was a great source of local knowledge, amusing stories and all round good egg.
Eddie also provided support in the form of his land rover which was used as an emergency vehicle amongst other things. Eddie delivered both our injured riders Paul and Werner to hospital and like the rest of the TDA staff went more than the extra mile to make sure we were well looked after. He will be missed.
Eddie runs his own safari company covering Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Botswana. If you’re interested in a camping or lodge safari I can whole heartedly recommend Eddie to help you organise it. More information can be found at www.africannomadsafaris.com
Tour d’Afrique – Decision Made
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Having spent the last few and a bit years working for Immediacy I’ve decided I need to do something completely different. I like cycling, obviously. I also like challenging myself and I wanted to see Africa, so when I read about the Tour d’Afrique I knew what had to be done.
I will be starting the Tour d’Afrique in Cairo in January 2009 and cycling to Capetown by May 2009. The ride features 96 cycling days or stages, averaging 123 km (77 miles) each, broken up by 22 rest days and 2 days of travel for a total of 120 days in Africa.
I’m also hoping to use this trip to raise awareness and funds for the following charities.
Tour d’Afrique Foundation – www.tourdafrique.com/foundation/
AVIF Volunteers in Kenya – www.avif.org.uk
The Tour d’Afrique Foundation provides bicycles for AIDS / HIV
workers throughout Africa. The bicycles enable medical staff
to treat many more AIDS/HIV sufferers than would be possible
without bicycles.
AVIF is a small charity organization which organizes volunteers
to help provide education and support in rural Kenya. Even a small
amount of fund raising will make a big difference to the amount of
work AVIF can do in Kenya.
The awesome blog of someone walking to the North Pole
Sunday, March 30th, 2008An attempt to set a new world speed record from Ward Hunt Island to the Geographic North Pole by Ben Saunders. The current record was set in 2005 by a guided team using dog sleds and numerous re-supplies in a time of 36 days 22 hours. Ben ’s expedition will be solo and unsupported and on foot. Currently he’s only a few days in to a 30 day journey.
