19 February 2007. A long, interesting(!) and very warm wait at the Barra Ferry compound ends with a slow crossing of the Banjul river. Vehicles and animals are wedged on the boat so tight there's no hope of getting out for air! With a cheer, and armed with only a tourist leaflet sketch map of coastal Gambia we follow Team USIMW (Trev & Jonah in their old Escort) down the ferry ramp & into Banjul. We soon lose them, and after a few wrong turnings, arrive in the Sahara Gardens finishing line (in Fajara, about 8 miles from Banjul docks) more or less by accident. We are all really excited, can't believe that we are actually here, in our little Pug in Banjul, after all the effort and preparations!
Again filmed by Life Mechanics (Keith & Graham) and edited by travelling companions Dumb & Dumber. Sorry about the quality, I had to use a free download to rip the footage from Keith & Graham's DVD! I also lifted one or two stills from the PBC07 wiki but don't have info to credit them. If you see your photo, I hope you don't mind us using it.
The 2007 Challenge raised about £130,000 for Gambian good causes, mainly through the sale of the rally cars. We hope our Pug is now giving good service as a taxi in Banjul!
