 As you may have heard, the kiwi kids (dan, kate and ains) have signed up to drive from england to cameroon in a car powered by less than one litre of internal combustion engine... ...that in itself is challenge enough….BUT…. ...our trip isn't just a junket of fun & random danger, we must raise at least ONE THOUSAND POUNDS before we can set out on our journey on December 13 (check out 'The Charity' section for details). We will get (beg, borrow, or steal) the car, the gear, the bribe money (for various african governmental officials), the visas, the jabs, plus radiator hoses, shovels, bulletproof vests, and the macaroons to eat once we get to cameroon. REMEMBER..... ....this is an adventure and like all true adventurers we must flow with the tides of change & throw plans away as we would rotten produce. So, here's a little update on our mad mission... The lovely folk from the Foreign Office (specifically the Head of Counter-Terrorism) has delivered the unfortunate news that the Africa Rally must not proceed (well not as orignally planned anyway!). You can read all about it here, but basically they advise against all travel to Mauritania as there is a high threat of kidnapping by Al Qaeda in Mauritania & surrounding countries. Three Spanish aid workers were kidnapped last month, and a British national who was kidnapped with a group of travellers in January was later executed. NOT GREAT, CLEARLY!!!!!!! But fear not……WE WILL NOT BE BEATEN!!!!!!!!! The new plan:
More dramas to come we're sure......STAY TUNED!!!!
 Become a fan to keep up-to-date with our mis-adventures!\
