Greetings from Malawi

I am now in Malawi and am having a brilliant time. On the second day we covered approx. 100 kms and yesterday we did 70 kms to the Zomba Plateau which is a mountain higher than Ben Nevis. My friend Paul and I dressed up as Batman and Robin for the cycle yesterday which was a great laugh but very warm, it amused the Malawian people greatly too.

I am feeling really good, cycling with a good bunch of people and enjoying the beautiful scenery and the Malawi people are amazing and very friendly. We visited one school where we met lots of children and if we pass them on the road they always wave to us.

Every morning we wake up at 6am, enjoy a buffet breakfast and prepare for the cycle ahead by completing a warm up before we leave at 8am. We arrive at our overnight stops between 4pm-5pm where we eat dinner together and are briefed for the next day’s cycle.

We are now heading south to Blantyre and I have taken lots of photos and videos however, you’ll probably have to wait till I get back before you can see them as the internet connection is very poor out here.

Hope you are all keeping well.

Davie
