On Friday we decided that we would do this. It seems somewhat foolhardy; two otherwise sensible people walking over a hundred kilometres in, probably, 24 hours with no training. Then again, consider the plight of those we are trying to help via Arcubus. We both keep fit and have plenty of resources to call upon en route should we need them. In Africa, keeping fit is scarcely the main concern for someone living in poverty and available resources may only be found at the end of a very, very long walk.
See the About our Walk for Africa page for more details and the very important link to make a donation.
Regular updates to follow, plus pictures and other goodies as soon as they are available.
