Running the length of Africa




He hit the Namibian border yesterday, can't see the Kalahari desert being much fun.
 
Good luck to him. Sounds absolute bonkers. Doubtful he will last the whole way, especially when he isn't taking rest days.

Hope he comes home well and unscathed, and with the charities have their coffers bolstered.

Are there any paramilitaries operating near his route?
 



Felt inevitable on a mission like this.

More info in the tweet but essentially he and his mates were robbed at gunpoint, passports, documents, electrical devices stolen.

I was afraid to open this thread for spoilers. I've been watching him the whole way on YouTube, but his videos are always about two-three weeks behind.

My wife was born in Angola and a lot of her family still live there, so I was basically just waiting for this to happen.

They're going around the poorest parts of Africa in a van full of drones and HD cameras. It only gets worse as well if they plan on going through the Congolese jungle and Cameroon, which is currently in the middle of a civil war.

While it is a fun theoretical idea, it is equal parts foolhardy and they will probably have to stop at some point if they don't want to be killed.
