Hey Folks! Its been a while since we have posted here. We are delighted to say that we have now reached the 80% mile stone in our fundraising. We are going to close the online fundraising on the 18th of September (a day to the year from when we left!). We are still roughly €7k short but so far have raised €29,000 for both Room to Read and MSF. Please share our cause in this final push to help us reach our goal!
Rothar Africa's cycling journey from Cairo to Cape Town part 1. This covers Egypt to Ethiopia. You can see more about the trip at www.rotharafrica.org.
We are delighted to announce that we raised roughly €2700 (or 7.5% of our overall target) at our thank you dinner hosted in the Royal St George Yacht Club last night. We were completely blown away by the amount of people who came and gave so generously. We just wanted to acknowledge everyone who helped out and attended. You all made it such an amazing experience and a fantastic final event. We couldn't have done any of this with out you all. Also a special thank you to Justin Mckenna and the RSGYC staff for hosting us, and to Minister for Trade and Development, Joe Costello and his wife for attending. Here is a link to the first of 3 videos we showed last night, we will post the others in the coming days.
We will be running a story telling evening, accompanied by dinner, on Wed May 28th in the Royal St. George YC Dun Laoghaire, all the info is above. Booking is essential.
Alternatively we will also be having a more casual story telling evening on Monday May 26th at 7pm in Winter Garden Pearse St. free of charge.
if you would like to attend this evening, sign up through the Open House Faceboook group or if you don’t know what I’m talking about, contact Sadhbh on 0879843656.
We would love to share some of our journey with those of you who have supported & followed us & more importantly to be able to say a huge thank you in person!
This evening will take place on Monday May 26th in Winter Garden on Pearse St. at 7.30pm. Please click attend if you can make it, or if you're not on Facebook text Sadhbh on 0879843656 just for numbers, thanks!
It is an informal story telling evening, just us relaying some of the better tales from the road! We would love to share them with you all & have an opportunity to thank you all for the incredible support that made this whole thing possible.
There will be another evening scheduled 2 days later on May 28th in Dun Laoghaire. It will be a dinner & talk combo. See post above for more info!
Just a sneak peek of some of our video editing! Here's the morning routine in Namibia.....
Cairo to Cape Town by bicycle 2013/14
Our Hope Filled Safari (safari means journey in Swahili) It seems almost surreal to be standing beneath the flat topped silhouette of 'Table Mountain'. 11,500km, 7 months and 11 countries from where we started our adventure in a dusty and curfewed Cairo. It was well over a year ago when this trip was still a dream, a far off possibility, plotted in a pub on the quays in Dublin. A journey through 'darkest Africa' as my mother would remind me as I was leaving my house in Dundrum last September. But it was not the dark Africa of troubled headlines and news stories that we saw so often from home. It was an Africa that filled us with hope. The vibrant joy we met here was overwhelming. It was a truly inspirational experience during which we were met with incredible hospitality, generosity and care. Far from what we had expected. There was of course the other side of the same coin; of poverty, hunger, and great need. But even through these afflictions there shone a quiet hopefulness that baffled our post Celtic tiger contingent. A hopefulness of a better tomorrow, of generosity beyond their means and a hospitality that would put our Irish reputation to shame. I can sincerely say that this feat was only accomplished due to the people around us, both at here and at home. I would like to pay particular tribute to my Rothar team mates who are 3 of the most inspirational people I've had the privilege of knowing and travelling with. It was our team spirit that kept us going through some of the darker moments of our trip. I would definitely have given up in the hills of Ethiopia, or have gone home after a long period of sickness in Egypt had it not been for the encouragement & guidance of these 3 'shining lights', as Peter Murtagh put it in an Irish times article before we left. Our completion of this journey together is a testament to each of them. The purpose of our journey was never far from our minds, the raising of funds for both MSF and Room to Read. Our auspicious target of €36,000 has not yet been reached but each of us have been blown away by the many, many kind and generous donations that fuelled our determination to get to Cape Town, and we are hugely thankful. We look forward returning home with a renewed sense of hope. A hopefulness, regardless of situation or circumstance. That is our story, our hope-filled safari. Kyle
Our penultimate day's cycle with Table Mountain beckoning us to the finish line in the distance! Lunch time tomorrow we will lay our bikes down after 201 days, 11,515km & 11 countries!
Niamh's funniest moment!
3 days to go! Here are some if isidro's highs and lows (English and Spanish!)
Quick lunchtime snack and dip in the sea to cool off from the current South African heat wave. Cycling in 37 degrees is thirsty work!
16. Hospitality beyond Expection - Niamh (South Africa)
As we cross our last border and enter the final stretch of this journey, my mind is reflecting on all of the people who have made this trip possible. Most of you know who you are, but I wanted to acknowledge some of the people who might be surprised just how much of a part they have played; people who have not let any borders stand in the way of forming new friendships, and helping four cyclists along their way. Read more here...
Day 5; Niamh's high and low points
A few pictures from South Africa. We are only 5 days away from Cape Town. Currently cycling down the West Coast and loving being back beside the sea! (Even if it is freezing!)
Sadhbh explains her highs and lows of the trip. Only 6 days now till Cape Town!
Day 7; cycling towards the Atlantic Ocean. Kyles high and low points of the trip!
