@AlfieHouseEcho Downes for Aribo all day. Downes was fantastic last year but nowhere near it this season unfortunately

Cannot quite believe it but we've managed to pull off @softplayband playing the finish line party in Tunisia. 7th April at the sidi salem hotel in Bizerte. Anyone that can get themselves there is welcome. Get your daiquiris ready girls & boys this is gonna be mega.

@AlfieHouseEcho Like the idea of making St Marys more vocal by moving away fans (some of the itchen will follow, some will stay) but it is a negative that the sun would now be in the eyes of home supporters, rather than away fans getting the poor view.

#ProjectAfrica Day 180: 61.3km

180 days on the trot. Having it. Progress on the map starting to look tasty. Pretty sure I got a whiff of Tunisian beach air earlier today.

Team split up this morning with @cameramanstan_ & new recruit Jamie heading south to the port with the van where they’ll get on a boat to Nigeria. Me and Guus crossing this chaotic terrain overland. Tarmac has fully bottled it. Left me to smash up his younger brother, Mud. Weak move. Don’t respect it.

Blessed to have @huel with me on days like this. 0 time or energy for anyone to cook but all the nutritional needs still taken care of. Hueligan for life. Got a discount code for anyone that wants to give it a go. £10 off with code HARDEST10. Link in bio🫡

Have a blessed evening girls & boys. We go again tomorrow💪

#ProjectAfrica Day 179: 60.5km

Closing in on 6 months smashing road out here. Cannot quite describe how much I have learnt in this time. Been tested in ways I never imagined and humbled in ways I wasn’t expecting. Proper adventure.

Harder than I thought? Yes sir. Still here? Absolutely. Making it to the finish line in Tunisia? Bet the fucking mortgage on it.

@talkSAINTS Think Phil Jones would be ideal for us, mentality and experience would go a long way. Wouldn't be against Bertrand making a return too, knows the club, voice in the dressing room and far better defensively than Manning.

[Russ Cook @hardestgeezer]

138 days ago I began my attempt to become the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa.

Here is a list of some of the problems I’ve had to overcome to get to this point (I’m not even halfway):

• Day 1- Started the mission with less than 10% funding

• Day 5- Support van breakdown

• Day 14- Attempted robbery

• Day 17- Support van couldn’t cross the border. Solo into the desert

• Day 26- Food poisoning (multiple days)

• Day 35- Another attempted robbery

• Day 42- Started pissing blood (lasted 6 days)

• Day 64- Got robbed at gunpoint (passports, cameras, phones, money got taken)

• Day 74- Visas issues (had to travel 2000km backwards & pay a load of bribes to get it sorted)

• Day 89- Leg injury

• Day 103- Got stuck in a rural Congo village. Thought I was going to die.

• Day 107- Van needed fixing (10 days)

• Day 112- Restructure of the support team. Made 2 new hires.

• Day 120- Arranged purchase of new support vehicle

• Day 128- Foot injury

• Day 136- Support van crashed. Potentially a write off.

Throw in running daily ultra marathons and it has been quite the party out here so far. The message stays the same as always.

WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD. TILL THE END🫡

#ProjectAfrica Day 53: 59.1km

Been a few days with very little/no signal so here’s a quick recap.

Day 50: 50km
Final day in Namibia🇳🇦 Jarred rejoined the team🫡

Day 51: 24.5km
Spent most of the day crossing the border. Poo’d myself. Hectic. Made it eventually.

First experience of Angola; Everyone speaks Portuguese🇵🇹 Petrol is 25p per litre. The people seem well friendly for a country that has a machete on its flag🇦🇴

Day 52: 60km
First full day here. Trademark trembling of tarmac all day long. Very hot. Kicked ball with some local lads in the evening. Boys still got the sauce.

Day 53: 59.1km
Fastest run of the mission so far. Felt loose out there. Scattered pockets of signal. Big tease. Cream crackered.

Not sure if this will upload but I’ll give it a stab before I pass out. Hope you’re all having a great week🫡 here’s to hoping for some more signal in the coming days🤞

@Saints_FCLive Because St Mary's is full of home fans, worst in the league. Grown men booing players before they even touch a ball. Buzzing for next season when they don't turn up
