As long as I don't have to push you up this flipping mountain, I'll send you a donation. Anything to get you out of the UK!
Seriously though, good luck, you have more balls than others to do this! |

Just donated - apologies for not having done so before. If I have "made it" for teddy, then please re-donate.

Will you have t'internet with you so you can keep us updated on progress? Or will we just get a "final report"? And lots of photos, hopefully. The Monkey Mask on top of the world at least!
I am awed by this effort. Giving a few pounds here and there is too easy. |

You'll probably need some sophisticated kit like a Sat-phone or whatever. (I only know the term because I have read about them - see other threads about me being a technophobe.) Just take a good old fashioned camera - and don't forget a few rolls of film!!

You must be coming close to the "event". Hope the training has gone well and also the fund raising.
Good Luck. |

Trying to work out 30 days from original post but ran out of fingers and toes.
Has he gone yet? How's he doing? When can we have an update? |

Well all the best wishes to him for a great success. Imagine putting that on your CV?
Seriously, good luck and God bless Andy for doing this. It is a cause that is close to my heart at the moment. I wish I was still working and could sponsor loadsamoney but my contribution will have to do. And we still want those photos! |

Hey, Andy, some of us don't do Facebook/Twitter whatever - so you'd better update here, or I will get cross.

Let's hope all is going well and thanks for the update.
I still want to see photos!!! PS: Have only done Cape Town, Durban and Pongola Game Reserve myself so not seen the "real" sights in Africa. Green-eyed monster is being held at bay! |
