 Proposed Route

 

Actual Route - As texted in by Alan and Ian on route.


The mission is simple: To cycle from London, England to Cape Town, South Africa. 


Over the course of the journey, we hope to achieve three main goals:


  • To complete the route in 12 months
  • To raise money and awareness for Childreach
  • To climb Mount Kilimanjaro

The plan is to leave the London Eye on 31st May 2009 and arrive at the


Green Point Stadium, Cape Town on 1 June 2010 - just in time to see the football World Cup!


While boats will allow us to cross water, and a plane will take us over the less stable countries, the journey will be made predominately on bicycles.


Intensive physical training for EyeOnAfrica began in 2007, and included EyeOnUK - a 1,000 mile ride, stretching the length of the UK.

The EyeOnAfrica route covers around 12,000 miles, passing through two continents and 29 countries.
These countries are:
