Banjul drive update

On the day I was due to register for the Banjul ride, I called someone and was made aware that I would need visas for every country the drive goes through, because I would be travelling on a non-British passport. That little detail I had completely overlooked. This means I cannot go and I will spend another Christmas in the UK. Christmas in the UK is the most boring time you can imagine. I had hoped to be doing something exciting and productive. Have to wait till next year now. By then I will have thought of ways round the visa problem.
