Packed, boarded the plane and now in Cape Town. Catching the overnight train back to Johannesburg tomorrow morning, to make one large and redundant loop – but if you are going to travel from Cape to Cairo, then one should really start in the Cape, no?
So just a short note to say that things are now in motion. Thank you so much to absolutely everyone who emailed, phoned, commented or otherwise tracked me down and wished me well. I love that I can take your wishes with me in the days ahead.
Love and excitement. So very much of both.

I know it’s part of the show, to fly and train back, but in my world, your adventure starts after you get beyond where you came from. Though really your adventure started long ago, when this was just a kernel of an idea bouncing around in the back of your mind.
Safe travels, and very much looking forward to hearing about/seeing your journey.

Hi Rich,
It’s sad that I was not able to join you, but know that you have planted a seed and I will be agitated until I too do the trek. Have fun, be safe and come back with loads of cool stories of your adventure. You’re a legend!

Here we go! Again best of luck. Maybe arrival in J’burg under the auspices of Trip Momentum will show you the city from a different angle…
Following along,
