Africa Overland 1995 Encounter Overland

Dave,

That video sure brought back some memories for me. It was great! I went from London to Nepal in 1998 with Encounter for 8 months. What a trip especially through the Congo and CAR. Wonderful roads huh? Did you take the caravan through Mauritania? I hear they have paved roads now. Takes the fun out of it!

Thanks for sharing your cool show.

Glad that EO continued to make an impression on people 12 or so years after I left.

Like you, I was sorry to see it go

Thanks for the reply Dave,

I'll have a look at my old photo's & upload.

I agree, a trip like that changes you. You see how the world really is & Africa is a magical place, I'll never forgoet my experience. I hopped on a south bound trip & Jon carried on to London via europe.

My driver in Africa was Andy Sutcliffe from Perth Aus (great guy). It's a shame EO closed down after so many good years. The world is a different place now that it was 13 years ago! Cheers Mike

Hey Dave, looks like you had a good trip?

I did an encounter overland in 96 starting from Kathmandu going east thru india, pakistan, iran then down thru egypt, kenya. Flew to west africa up thru mali etc.

I had your driver John on the first leg. Had a bunch of assholes on my trip though from Egypt onwards. Got any video?
