It''s been really enjoyable reading your blog - excellently written! You should make a book of it some day! Shame your trip got curtailed because of illness. Sierra Leone/Liberia seem to be dodgy places to go when it comes to malaria, a person I used to know, Kinga Freespirit from Poland, got sick in the same area, was taken to Ghana and died there back in 2006, apparently from the same thing Huw caught. http://www.kingafreespirit.pl I”m planning a trip to Africa, driving from Denmark to Ghana.

Its crazy to be so close to the end, wish we werent but it''s got to finish sometime plus the moneys running out :) Send us a message when you get the time would love to hear from you both. Best wishes Ian and Alan Hi Huw and Bex,

We''ve just moved up to not so far from your neck of the woods (the Dales) - will be in touch! Jocelyn, thanks - and for all your supportive messages all the way through the journey and, especially, for the chocolates for Huw! Alain and Alicia, we still don''t know what we are thinking with our project. The doctor said we were to do "nothing adventurous for at least six months" so we have time to think about it! We will certainly let you know. At the moment, we are trying to earn some money... Yes, one way or another, we will be back to Le Thiossane one day. Bisoux to you all (including the hyenas), Bex xxx Jim – thanks! We”ve just moved up to not so far from your neck of the woods (the Dales) – will be in touch!

Just heard on the MT list that you've needed to be flown back to the UK by your insurance company. Didn't know what it was all about so came here to find out. Shit! Pleased to hear Huw is on the mend and things are looking good. Take care. Hey there bex.

Andrew, thanks for adding to our what-to-do-next confusion ;) Seriously, thanks for thinking of me - email on its way. Lisa, wedding?! Aargh!!! ;) Rich, heh, yep, so cliche... (Huw didn't know you'd popped the question to Cath on NYE by the way, and I wasn't going to refuse just for the sake of originality :) Anyway, you can rest assured that your African-Cycling-New-Year's-Eve engagement was almost certainly more romantic than ours :) Sarah, I loved your story (especially describing the tie as time going backwards... :) And if we go back, we won't be going back TOO soon! Yep, it's a strange feeling - as we took off (especially from Liberia), I had extremely mixed feelings of gratitude/relief (because we could get somewhere with good medical care) and guilt/shame (because we could get somewhere with good medical care)... The Herald's Dream thing is really interesting - I'd never heard of that. Anyway, I'm glad you made it safely back to the UK (twice!) and wishing you no more dreams of ginormous heads (although possibly a few of gorgeous doctors)! Thanks all, xx Isabel, Sherinne, Chris and Marlene – thanks so much from both of us for your kind comments.
