We’re very happy to announce that the Short Walk in the Gambian Bush has been a complete success – with the team actually finishing their epic hike a few days early! The team actually made it back to base camp at Makasutu on the 12th December. We’ve held off announcing their arrival whilst the guys tried to find a suitable internet connection to upload some of their fabulous photos. We’ve included a few here. All that’s left to say is a huge well done to the guys, and to everyone out there who hasn’t yet donated to this project – you can do so at Jason’s Just Giving page. What are you waiting for?!

You can check out the rest of the photos and some hair-raising accounts of the last few days of their journey at the Short Walk blog, plus check some of Jason’s older (and equally gobsmacking) photos at his own site. And let’s not forget Helen Jones’s blog while we’re at it! As a brief aside, isn’t Neil just the best name ever for a donkey?

Early morning - on the road again.
