JULY 2008 - We've made it

When we last heard from the intrepid Outside Edge adventurers they were full of optimism and fired up by the beauty of our own South African coastline. This is the final story, of the long and sometimes dangerous journey that has tracked the outline of Africa through 33 countries. The battered expedition Land Rovers roar towards the Cape of Good Hope finishing point. “It’s a race against time,” says Kingsley Holgate. “We want to empty the much travelled calabash back into the cold south Atlantic on Madiba’s birthday. The great man has been such an inspiration to this odyssey, his picture with our family and his handwritten          message in the Scroll of Peace and Goodwill, has encouraged thousands of         others who live along the outside edge of Africa to endorse its pages. We’d         like to thank all who have followed our story, its been great to have your        support so please join us in the final countdown to the longest and most       exciting humanitarian journey ever undertaken.
