About this blog

A trip with the simple aim of driving 2 mitsubishi L200 4x4s down to Africa with my mate Jay (picture), living rough and taking a wealth of photos. Departure 3rd September. Im an Amateur photographer with a huge lust for Adventure. I hope to document and enrich the trip armed with my photography and excellent language skills. My weapons of choice to document this trip are my Nikon D300 pro camera and mainly my Panasonic LX3 camera which is a highly rated piece of equipment and superb for snapshots. It can also film in HD.
