Strange coincidence to see this on here this morning.
I went to a meeting last night for a charity that I fund raise for. The charity builds what they call villages for orphans to give the kids a "proper" home environment and schooling. I say that they call them villages, but they are a community of half a dozen or so buildings.
The charity has already built 6 (I think) of these villages and are in the process of raising the £250,000 needed for another one.
What they have asked me to do is to obtain two Landys and get them out to the "villages". This will probably mean driving them out to South Africa and then flying home.
So, in answer to you original question, not yet, but it looks like I will be!

don't ask for volunteers.
i have 22 days left of annual leave could be available?

i think there would be long qeue for a trip like that :lol: :lol:

Done my trip to ZA can't afford another in the near future :(
We did pretty much the same route, though instead of Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, we did Holland, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria and Jordan to Egypt.
Good luck in Egypt, I found driving there to be a pain in the back side, it may be worse now since the recent bombings on the Sinai.
If you want some GPS way points for campsites etc. we may be able to help.
When are you planning on leaving?
We got our Sudanese Visa prior to leaving the UK, it took about 8 weeks for them to arrive, we later found we could have got them in 24hrs in Cairo, but it's a long way to go to find you can't get them there anymore.
What's Algeria like these days it used to be a bit dodgy IIRC, but things change daily in Africa.
Have fun with it.

I haven't got the Landy's yet .... when I have I'll be calling for drivers!
-
Which Charity is it that you fund raise for?
-
We are flying down in Novemeber, does that count?
We keep looking at the overland but the bit that puts me off is the band where you have to go through the Dem Rep. of Congo, Sudan or Etheopia. YOu can't avoid one of the three and none of them are very freindly at the mo. Especially as we will have a little baby very soon.

Early days yet, I am trying to find a few decent people to go with. My mates are too boarding to do it.
-
A while back now (aka before a lot of us even had cars!) me and a couple of mates were thinking of doing England- France- Belgium- Germany- Poland- Ukraine- Kazakhstan- China- Mongolia- China - Thailand- Cambodia- Malaysia.
But I think it fell apart a while back, and I'm not 100% if that was the route, that was just following Autoroute :shock:

Parents have a house in SA hence it being the destination. Also I want to leave the car out in SA.
