Epic Amateur Train Journey.

Posted on 31 March 2010 by Amateurs

It’s probably the longest train in the World and it’s probably the wildest train ride in Africa – So naturally we got on board. If you can find anything more epic involving a train – let us know and we’ll do it.

    I don’t know what’s more impressive boys… the fact that you took part in what appeared to be one of the most amazing overland travel experiences ever or that as Harty has just informed me, the fact you are yet to get boozed in Africa… both mind boggling fellas, great stuff!!!
