Across Africa

Belinda KirkComment

 

In January 2016, I will set off from Freetown in Sierra Leone on my Bajaj BM 150CC Expedition bike and head east towards Mombasa. This is a fact finding expedition to establish how civil war and the bush meat trade has impacted Wild life and to meet with individuals and organisations that are putting in effort to try and save some of the animals listed as being endangered.This Expedition will be split up into 4 chapters with Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Ivory Coast being the first, this chapter will take approximately 60 days to complete.

I am funding this first chapter myself with the hope of obtaining a grant once the data and footage has been publicised. If there is anyone interested in obtaining more information about this Expedition or would like to possibly join me then please feel free to email me at robgrinham010169@gmail.com and I will gladly share my plans with you.

The main aim of the project is to promote awareness of the local conservation and of the indigenous communities. As i would love to educate as many young people and adults of the plight of both topics around the world from PNG to the embera people, as well as countless others by crossing the Darien and attempting it alone or with another team mate or 2. The route will mainly consist of past expedition from organisation of good standing and connect with local businesses and people for the logistical and red tape side of things.

Solo 500k salt flat desert walk with my bathtub

CommunityBelinda KirkComment

I'm aiming to be the first man to solo walk around the desert, bur not just across which has already been achieved. I will have Sheila with me. Sheila's not a person, but a 45 kg bathtub! The trip will be some 2/3 months in duration - my bath will be on a 2 wheeled cart. Having already solo sailed down the Amazon river in sheila, then took her to the top of Kilimanjaro on my back a month ago, I am now ready for my 3rd challenge. After this next year I plan to para-glide with sheila 4000 miles following the mighty Amazon river from glacier to sea.
