The plan is to drive to the UK and then ship to Egypt to continue their jour ney to South Africa. They will cover a whop ping 20,000 plus miles. SIx teen plus countries and a whole continent will be cov ered over the period ofsix to seven months whilst raising funds for The Little Angels of Uganda.
When she isn’t off galli vanting, Kat, originally from Kent in the UK shares her time between Malaga and her home town. Kat confirmed the inspi ration behind the trip: “Eleven years ago I rode a quad bike to Timbuktu after my grandma died and it be came a sort of memorial for her and also a big charity event for the Macmillan cancer charity, but it’s al ways grated on me a bit that the money we raised went into Europe.”
