So in summary I run around the football field and attract masses of kids who love to run with me. We have races, cuddles and a lot of laughing and they love it when I give the girls a head start! We vary our races with sprints up and down the field and the boys always beat me.
The gym..well as you can see below this is my new gym buddy who can out bench press me and often doesn’t like to share the equipment. He has two enormous front teeth (those long white tusks) which he points at me to get his own way.
Again due to the wildlife I am not allowed to ride out of our camp up to the main road and have to put the bike in our 4×4 and drive into town. I park and sweet talk any male who is nearby to help me pass it out of the truck. I then set off and ride through Mufwe town. I’ve become very good at riding with one hand on the handle bars as I am continually meeting our staff and now have many friends in the villages. A lot of waving, racing me and laughing along the way. I currently ride about 9 k’s and have a goal to ride return to the airport (about 60 k’s) and given myself 4 months to train.
I love my weekly schedule and thank all my friends be it human and wildlife.



Love the routine! Looks fun x
So good to hear the locals are so friendly and enjoy racing you – you might be amongst the next usain bolt by the sounds of it!
Glad you’re staying safe with all the wildlife around this time of year, you’re too brave for your own good so do stay cautious.
Can’t believe you’re biking too, gotta see that to believe so send through some footage – maybe of you crossing the finish line when you reach the airport!
Wow, you are great Wen. Sounds wonderful but you must be missing the ‘easy’ life??? Thinking of you always xxx
Easy life!!!?? Jamie and I truly love working and living here it is an amazing opportunity for us both and feel blessed to have the opportunity, you have to come!
Hi Tim, the locals are very used to riding and running around town and call out Bwanji “Hello”. you have to dodge the pots holes and trucks taking the staff home from the camps though I love the exercise and getting out of camp. I went for a 17k ride last week in the middle of the day and nearly fainted when I stopped- will need to be more careful. I always wanted to bike ride with Jamie and now he never rides with me….I must have been too fast for him and put him to shame hahahah NOT
