Team Mog have two humans and two supporting cohorts travelling together in our Unimog. We are...

 

Oz driving a speed boat

Oz is the sporty one of the team, he enjoys rock climbing, canoeing, mountain biking and mountaineering amonst other things. He is hoping to rock climb in Morocco and Mali, climb Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, canoe down the Niger and mountain bike in Namibia.. Phew! Will he have time for all that driving? Oh, and he's a dab hand at fixing things!

Likes: mountains, adventures, snow (bit of a handicap in Africa!)

Dislikes: parsnips, people who pull out in front of the lorry

Kate at a bike rally

Kate is a seasoned traveller already clocking up over 50 countries but she is looking forward to experiencing Africa and all it will throw at the team.

She is the main navigator, cook and bottle washer.

Likes: other cultures, a beer, a book and a hammock (together!)

Dislikes: having her photo taken, ignorant tourists, television

Little Matt in Cuba

Little Matt - experienced traveller with over 25 countries under his paws. He is raring to go and full of beans (literally!).

Likes: starring out of train windows, having his photo taken in new places

Dislikes: falling into puddles in Russia, being mauled by Welsh Terriers

Tiny Tigey goes canoeing

Tiny Tigey - less travelled than Little Matt and has been to 7 countries but we feel that he will be a great asset to the team once his African instincts have kicked in.

He is called Tiny Tigey but is actually a Leopard... Tiny Leopardy doesn't have quite the same ring to it!

Likes: canoeing, getting out and about in the rucksack

Dislikes: being left behind, having a book put on his head in the rucksack

Oz and Kate swimming in the frozen sea
Little Matt and Tiny Tigey in Tallinn
There's nothing quite like swimming in a frozen sea off the coast of Finland in April!!
Little Matt and Tiny Tigey look at the old town in Tallinn - May 2007.
