Bob&Neils Enduroafrica: Matt Felkin (Heathrow)
http://bobneilsenduroafrica.blogspot.com/2009/10/matt-felkin-heathrow.html
Friday, 16 October 2009. Matt is at the departure lounge with Simon Garry, Perry from Canada, Knowle, Sam and another fella. The second leg have managed to get an extra 20kg for their hold luggage, if they knew that before hand it would have saved a lot of worries with the packing. Matt has a seat in the middle of the plane but the mission to get the picture of the Border Collie cut out at Jo'Berg is still on. Labels: Blogging for second leg riders.

Bob&Neils Enduroafrica: Day 3, now were talking!
http://bobneilsenduroafrica.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-3-now-were-talking.html
Sunday, 4 October 2009. Day 3, now were talking! Well with much pomp and ceremony we set off from Port Elizabeth 30 minutes later than planned due to the local Old Bill not quite getting there act together, The first fall off of the day went to a poor chap who pushed his bike out into the road, only to fall over it. Sadly we did not have time to see the lions before we dined on some of the former residents of the reserve! Nice nosh though and a lovely local pudding a bit like sticky toffee Pud. Internet ...

Bob&Neils Enduroafrica: Time to pack, and pack, and pack again!
http://bobneilsenduroafrica.blogspot.com/2009/10/time-to-pack-and-pack-and-pack-again.html
Thursday, 1 October 2009. Time to pack, and pack, and pack again! Yesterday I plucked up courage and attacked the packing, we knew that at 20Kg for hold luggage and 8Kg for hand luggage that things were going to be to say the least a bit tight. Our boots weigh in at just under 4Kg a pair, then body armour, leg armour, riding trousers, jacket etc, etc, etc. On the first try the big red bag was over 23Kg, at £36 a Kg for the 3Kg that was another £118, Bu@ er that for a game of soldiers!

http://bobneilsenduroafrica.blogspot.com/2009/10/ever-tried-to-ride-duck-on-pond-of-snot.html
Saturday, 10 October 2009. Ever tried to ride a duck on a pond of snot? Well today was only 47km but was a very technical day. After the very heavy rain overnight and the persistant drizzle today the hard mud tracks have turned to the consistency of melted cream eggs! Those steep hill climbs were a bugger! A few dicky tummies around today, could be down to some of the shitty water we have been riding through. I am now relaxing in the bar with Mike Poxon and a few of the boys. TTFN Bob and Neil. Dont expe...
