Good day to you you all,

Sorry I've been out of touch, it's been hectic here. Reckon I'll be out of touch for quite a lot longer in the days to come! But you can follow progress through wwww.africanxmag.com

We leave tomorrow morning, walking east from Victoria Falls. First leg - Vic Falls to Deka, Binga and then Kariba. Many thanks to all of you who have helped, we are rearing to go.

Cheers for now, Dave

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Hi everyone,

We are at the Msuna Fishing Camp - below Deka Drum and just before the Gwaii river. 140k's from the Falls as the dove wings but in reality we have walked much further than that - gorges and a sidetrip to Batoka Gorge have seen to that! It has been grueling for me but Jephita is doing very well. I have suffered some serious blisters but all healed now. Feeling much stronger than I did 10 days ago! I am in a rush here as we want to get back on the road again, but will post a better report ASAP - maybe from Binga in a few days time. There has been an awful mistake with the pricing of 'The Shangaan Song'. Please be assured that IT IS NOT $65 and I am writing the relevant people now. It should be closer to $20 - I don't know what's going on on that front obviously, being in the bush and all!

Cheers, David

David, if you can find an ointment called Preparation H (sold here in the US as a hemorrhoid treatment) use it on your blisters, then bandage the area well, using moleskin inside your shoe/boot. This is one of the best healing treatment for blisters that you can find. I'm not kidding, it works. I used it last year in Zim after trailing a big Kudu for miles. Keep us posted when you can.
Cheers,
David K
