Jason Florio packs for the Gambia expedition

If you’ve been following the Gambia blog you’ll know we’ve been supporting Jason Florio and Helen Jones on their proposed on-foot epic circumnavigation of The Gambia. The project is partly to document a personal obsession both Jason and Helen have developed over many visits to the country, and also a charity event, looking to propogate the ideas of the Gardens for Life project, set up by the Eden Project.

Well, we’re pleased to say that the trip has got off to a good start and the guys are making good progress. You can see their route on the map below and follow their travails on their Short Walk in the Gambian Bush blog, on the Adventure blogs site. Their experiencing a few problems getting on line at the moment but the blog should have some regular live updates. Here’s to a long walk in the country!
