For three months we've been talking about it, thinking about it and finally, it's within our grasp. Entries to the Put Foot Rally 2012 opened on 1 September and with her usual enthusiasm and dedication, Lyn had our names in the moment bookings were allowed. She is the one that first sighted this adventure online and so it's only right that she should be at the helm of our "terrible trio" leading us - some might call astray- on what could turn out to be some of the most intense, chaotic, exciting and hilarious 17 days of our lives to date.
Indeed, 7 countries in 17 days is a feat wherever you are but in Africa it's something quite special. We're all born and bred in Southern Africa so we don't go into this with our eyes closed. We know that the dirt roads, insects, foreign languages, camping and thousands of kilometres aren't going to be easy but we also know that epic adventures are not for the faint of heart and we're anything but that. Africa is in our blood after all!
We're ready to prove that three girls, with tenuous (at best) knowledge of motor vehicles can take on the challenge and come out the other side more tanned, better-traveled and with a story or two to tell.
Now all we need is for our application to be accepted. Here's hoping...
