Right girls and boys, we have a bit of a problem. We haven’t been able to get visas for Algeria, and if we don’t get them, then it’s game over for project africa.
I’ve been running now for 278 days, covered nearly 12,000km through 13 countries and raised over £140k for charity in my attempt to become the first person ever to run the entire length of Africa. But right now all of that is totally hanging on whether we can get permission from Algeria to let us cross in through this border with Mauritania.
This is the only option we have left so, Algeria, if you’re listening, please reach out to me on my contact [email protected]
Anything you need from us please let me know. It would be an absolute privilege to visit your beautiful country.
To everyone following the journey online please help us out by sharing this and helping us get this seen by the appropriate people in Algeria.

I don’t think any of you newbie love island fans understand how iconic Hannah elizabeth is. If I keep seeing posts calling her plastic there will be war. She is mother. She carried season 1, she’s going to carry this one. 9 years later she’s still slaying. #LoveIsland#AllStars

Intense day. Hot, humid, hills. Triple threat. The Angolan police are now escorting us. Feel sorry for the guy who’s gotta sit at 10km p/h in his motor all day. Grateful that Angola is doing what they can to keep us safe🇦🇴
I can’t speak any Portuguese so I’d be lying if I said I know much about what’s happening but Harry is doing all the talking whilst I handle the stomping🏃♂️
In other news these malaria meds have been spinning my head major. Cannot run daily ultra marathons on these things so gotta give them a miss and play fast and loose with one of the deadliest diseases in the world instead. The game is the game🫡

Nothing like a gun being pointed at your face to let you know you’re alive. Lively one today.
Ferocious 1’s & 2’s all morning. Met the boys for a lunch break. Chatting our usual dribble in the van like any other day when a couple lads popped open the side door and demanded everything we have.
Desperate blokes with guns pointed. Infamously bad situation to find yourself on the end of. Proper spot of bother. Damage limitation.
None of us got killed or injured. We didn’t let them march us out the van. But we did lose a lot of our gear. Couple cameras, 2 iphones, all of our cash, passports + few other bits.
Rough gig. But we live to tell the tale. Could’ve been a lot worse. Local police doing as much as they can to help🇦🇴
The relentless nature of this mission is quite something. Problems from every angle. No respite. Till the bitter end🫡
