London to Cape Town by Bicycle 2012 / 2013 - London to Dakar, Windhoek to Cape Town on a bicycle 2012/2013*
http://www.london2capetown.net/latest/all-done-and-dusted
London to Dakar, Windhoek to Cape Town on a bicycle 2012/2013*. Donostia San Sebastian, Spain. All done and dusted. I've now returned to the UK and am just updating the blog in preparation for the last few posts. I'm pledging here to do a small write up on cycling through the Western Sahara, do an equipment review and update my final equipment list, and to upload a few hundred photos that never made it to the blogs. As the terminator once said (in the Arnold schwarzenegger voice);. Make a small donation.

London to Dakar, Windhoek to Cape Town on a bicycle 2012/2013*. Donostia San Sebastian, Spain. The incredible lightness of cycling. Even though a blog update is long overdue, this one is going to be short and sweet as I’m exhausted and want to get to bed early. Tomorrow I need to leave at sunrise to get some distance before the sun and wind try to do their thing with me. Where to from here. My plan is to reach Cape Town by Sunday afternoon. That will be the end of my big adventure. Congratulations Honey,...

London to Dakar, Windhoek to Cape Town on a bicycle 2012/2013*. Donostia San Sebastian, Spain. Namibia is seriously hot this time of the year. I completely underestimated the heat aspect of this part of the journey. Since leaving Windhoek four days ago, the temperature has risen above 40 degrees every single day, and it never really cools down. Last night at 11PM it was 28.8 degrees outside. The temperature is usually above 25 degrees by 8AM. The other side revealed. What are the odds (Synchronicity).

London to Dakar, Windhoek to Cape Town on a bicycle 2012/2013*. Donostia San Sebastian, Spain. The parting of friends. Just a refresher. We initially had 10 months available for this trip, but this was reduced when my nieces UK Visa was declined. The full story can be found here. The website address now incorrectly says www.london2capetown.net. Whereas an address like www.london2dakarflytowindhoekthencycletocapetown.com. Watch this space :-). Yes, I also look forward to seeing you all and getting some KF...

London to Dakar, Windhoek to Cape Town on a bicycle 2012/2013*. Donostia San Sebastian, Spain. Chess - it's not everyone's game. The day I left Mariental I broke a few of my previous records.
