This was it, the chance to go on safari, sure it wouldn’t be on the back of elephants clad in safari suit and pith helmet, but it would be a safari all the same. Our 3 day trek would take us out to the Nogorongoro Crater and Serengeti National park, ... Read more >

Want a recipe for disaster? Take 27 strangers, place them in the back of an open truck for 54 days then drive them through, hot, dusty Africa adding a nightly booze stop followed by early morning wake up calls. Sounds like a great holiday right? Well ... Read more >

After a long flight and even longer visa application line, we have arrived in Nairobi. The thing that strikes you first is that everyone operates on Kenyan time. I believe this is the reason we are now 2 hours ahead of the UK because by the time you ... Read more >

So it’s all over, London is now sans Worker and vice versa and I must say never again will I attempt to pack 4 years of my life into 4 boxes! The last week in London has been such a roller coaster ride of emotions, sad to be leaving, frustrated at ... Read more >

After having a great time in Sarajevo, Belgrade was always going to struggle to compare. It is a much bigger city, lacking a lot of the charm which Sarajevo has. There are a few tourist sites such as the Palace, which over looks the Sava River and ... Read more >

At the beginning of this trip I had stared down death in the form of Peter Elliott and Pamps. Fortunately for me, Pete had been struck down with a flu and I escaped with a few minor injuries, but pretty in tact. I was not planning to fare so well ... Read more >

It became a race against time, as darkness descended with over 100k’s to go and the campsite closing at 9pm things were looking good for sleeping in the car, that was until I realised that Hamish could do in excess of 160k’s/hr. The best thing about ... Read more >

After the antics of Porto it was always going to be a tough act to follow up, so who better to draft into the fold than the Lord of Loose, Captain Oh-Zone himself. So the scene was set, 2 good looking roosters, one Emerald Isle, 68,700 pints of Guinness ... Read more >
