From Colchester to Cape Town (L`Agulhas), we had travelled 15,300 road miles, although returning to Windhoek for Martyns visa added 984 miles to the trip. Compare this to the East way down to L`Agulhas, south of Cape town the mileage travelled would have been surprisingly similar.
The West way down approximately 1000 road miles further.

Our plane took off on time from Cape Town International Airport early Saturday morning on the 28th of February and approximately after five thirty UK time we touched down at London’s Heathrow airport.



Our land rover left the following Friday from the port of Cape town in a container (high cube), Kindly organised by Hemisphere Freight and Peter Meihuizen from Meihuizen International. We are very grateful for their support through out and also that of MSC. The Land rover duley arrived at the Port of Felixstowe 19 days later (Wednesday 25th March). After a routine scanning it was released by Customs on Friday 27th March 2009.

We are all extremely appreciative for all the support from companies and individuals that contributed to our fundraising efforts for WaterAid. We will continue fundraising through out the Summer and Autumn when we hope to culminate every ones efforts at a Two Trips Ball.
