Cheers. This morning I posted a photo essay of the trip (well, mainly screen captures from our film footage, but you get the idea). You can check it out here: https://kayakthekwanza.wordpress.com/2016/07/09/a-month-in-the-life-of-kayak-the-kwanza-what-did-we-actually-do/

As a fun teaser, here is one of the photos. It's an aggressive bastard of a hippo that chased us up a tree!

Talk is definitely happening. 22 March 2017 at Royal Geographical Society. As it's part of the Microlectures series, I'll actually only bore you with tales of hippo attacks and illegal diamond mining for 10 minutes. Promise.

Would be good to see any BFC members who are in London at the moment!

I'm currently editing the final draft of my book about the journey. Crocodiles, hippo attacks, rapids, diamond miners, three nights in jail, all that stuff. Will keep y'all posted on a release date!
