Any tips for good W Africa freight firms? To ship bikes back from Liberia, without paying for whole container (DHL/Fedex etc won’t do it)

An upside to being back in the UK: books. Lots of them. In English. Any recommendations before we go soundscape/nature sound book shopping?

Huw’s recovered from the malaria/E Coli/whatever – he’s just been discharged from hospital in London :) As for the culture shock…

Going home. Huw’s not better so we’re about to be flown back to the UK for treatment. (Proper blog update coming soon, I promise!)

Recovering in Ghana after being evacuated by air ambulance from Liberia with E. Coli and malaria (probably) and jaundice. Getting better!

Sorry for long silence – been cycling through Sierra Leone / Liberia to Monrovia. Lots of news but first, lots of sleep. Happy new year!
