Back to EpisodesCycle Touring Through Africa - The Journey To Cape Town: Rob MacLennan (Part 2)
Description
This is Part 2 of Rob MacLennan's adventure from the UK to Cape Town. You can listen to Part 1 here.
In this episode we pick up where we left off - Rob is about to leave Nigeria and head over the border to Cameroon - by speed boat! Has to be one of the world's craziest border crossings for sure.
From there he continues down the western side of Africa. Gets lost navigating a 'short cut' through the jungle in Congo, connects with locals over the football in Angola and has one of the most physically and mentally intense experiences of his life crossing the Namib desert in Namibia.
On reaching Cape Town, Rob reflected how this adventure was never about that end destination - but everything that happened in between. The stories of human connection the ones leaving the greatest impression on Rob.
We also talk about mindset and post adventure blues with Rob sharing how pushing himself to his limits showed him his inner strength, what he could endure, but also the power of choosing to be positive.
