Cycle Completed

The journey is complete

Our MD, Davie Gowans, has just completed his charity cycle in Malawi! Although Davie doesn't have access to the internet at the moment he has been in touch and given an update on the group's progress. Everyone involved agreed that the trip was an amazing experience and they are all now relaxing with cold beer prior to a special dinner tonight to celebrate their achievements.

The scenery was out of this world at Mulanje Mountain and is something that will live long in the memory of Davie and the others. Tomorrow the group will visit a local school before a long transfer back to Lilongwe where they will stay overnight before flying to Nairobi on Sunday for the return flight to Heathrow.

Today and tomorrow's official itinerary are as follows:

Friday 22 July - Blantyre to Mulanje
The final day of cycling!!

• Cycling east towards Mulanje Mountain Forest Reserve, a vast isolated granite massif rising sharply above the plains. The last 2km are steep uphill!
• Known as the ‘Island in the Sky’, it consists of numerous plateaus, peaks & basins interspersed with deep ravines.
• Overnight stay at Kara O Mula Lodge. This evening we will enjoy a special meal to celebrate our achievements.

Saturday 23 July - Mulanje School Project Visit

• This morning we visit Thawale Primary School, a school that LINK is working with in Mulanje and you will have the opportunity to see a community School Performance Appraisal Meeting in action.
• In the afternoon we transfer back to Lilongwe where we will overnight in our hotel.

Davie will be updating his blog with more details when he and his beloved iPad are reconnected with the internet.

Congratulations to Davie and the rest of the group from IQA for completing this cycle for a great cause!!
