Eelco Meyjes carries 35kg of kit. You can follow the ride on satellite
To launch the Rare Finch Conservation Group’s exciting new fundraising campaign , for the Orange-breasted Waxbill, Eelco Meyjes is currently attempting to do a solo cycle ride from Cape Town to Vic Falls in Zimbabwe. A distance of 3000 km. The ride started in Cape town on Sunday 15 March. On Wednesday 8 April he reached Johannesburg, having completed a distance of 1,645 km. He is now over the half way mark and on his way to Botswana before he enters Zimbabwe in the very far northern part of the country . The real tough part starts now. He will need to camp out with wild animals in certain parts of Botswana and the distances between safety points are massive. Supporters can follow his ride via satellite tracking on http://www.safesporttracking.co.za and/or http://www.nevarestchallenge.com
WE KINDLY APPEAL FOR YOUR VALUABLE SUPPORT NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL.
