Route

Aside from Alan and Ian's own aims, EyeOnAfrica has a wider purpose. They will be rasing funds for charity.

"We both strongly believe that the future of Africa lies in education, we want to play our small part in helping to make a difference."

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 13 months To raise money and awareness for Childreach To climb Mount Kilimanjaro The plan is to leave the London Eye on 1 June 2009 and arrive at the Green Point Stadium, Cape Town on 1 July 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 includes EyeOnUK - a 1,000 mile ride, stretching the length of the UK, due to be carried out in May 2008.

The EyeOnAfrica route covers around 12,000 miles, passing through two continents and 24 countries. These countries are:
England France Spain Morocco Western Sahara Mauritania Senegal Gambia Guinea Mali Burkina Faso Ghana Togo Benin Kenya Uganda Rwanda Burundi Tanzania Malawi Zambia Mozambique Botswana Swaziland Lesotho South Africa
