Approaching the last few days in Guinea. Been up in the mountains getting about it. Someone’s swapped my hip flexors for cheese strings which isn’t ideal but movements just about getting made. Excited to get to Senegal where we have some people flying in for a few days to meet us before the vast, isolated stint in the Sahara.

Have met some really inspiring people over the last few days and pondered many of life’s big questions. When I started this mission I was hoping that throughout the course of such a long adventure maybe I would discover more answers to these questions, but honestly I just have more questions. Life is complicated. Tarmac isn’t. Time to go cave it in🫡

@_koko_cee @Bawzz_lady Terrifying. Maybe the police the best option

37. What a team goal that was!

Great work from @PhilFoden and Nunes to get into the box, Nunes pulls it back to Lewis and his effort finds Alvarez who turns it in! 🤟

🩵 2-0 ⚫️ #ManCity

We set up camp last night out here in the bush. Tucking into my @huel Mexican chilli with roadside baguette, thinking about how excited I was to get after 8 hours horizontal. Favourite part of my day. Having a great time.

Shortly after 10+ blokes rolled up with big guns telling us we cannot stay cos the area is too dangerous with bandits. Not an ideal turn of events but they then informed us they were the Guinean army and took us to their base to camp here instead.

Last pic is the toilet. One of the higher quality shit holes I’ve had the pleasure of squatting over on this trip but still a bit of a breath holder job. Overall, an enjoyable stay.

Completely loved being part of 🇬🇲#TheGambia’s 2023 Janjangbureh Bicentenary Commemoration today. So much rich culture to celebrate and enjoy. Well done @TheGambiaMoTC for organising such a fabulous day.

Morning boys and girls. Been a minute. Internet in Guinea is heavily restricted so I haven’t been able to access socials until now. Lots been happening as always.

Humidity has dropped as we are heading north and getting closer to the Sahara which has been magic. That 4 month stint through the jungle & west Africa was just a permanent sweat fest.

The people of Guinea have been very chill, we’ve been travelling through quite rural regions with some spectacular scenery and they’ve largely been happy to see us.

Locating high quality food has been a bit more challenging than in the previous west African countries though. Found out the hard way with another bout of food poisoning just in time for nye.

Body taking beat downs from every direction. I do sometimes wonder if it will ever get back to normal after this is all said and done. Future problem tbf.

2024. Same mission. Tunisia inbound. Hold tight🫡

I’ve become fascinated by the beautiful #birds here in #TheGambia 🇬🇲. I was lucky enough to see an Abyssinian Roller yesterday evening, hanging out in our garden. Many more stunning birds to spot here over the next three years :)
