I was joined for the day by my Dad and Danna. They both did really well and we walked nearly 30kms!! So I have only got 24kms left to go. I'll be home tomorrow. Its a weird thought. The end always felt so far away, but here it is.
Die Burger sent out a photographer to today to takes some pics of me walking, so i think there will something in the paper tomorrow.
I will continue to make posts on the blog while I go through my photos and data so check out the blog in the next few days.

About the Project
The N7 National Route is the primary road access to flower viewing destinations in Namaqualand and the West Coast. The road reserve along much of the route still supports patches of relatively undisturbed vegetation and during the spring months parts of it provide fine displays of wildflowers that no longer survive beyond the fence line in cultivated land.
In order to raise awareness about this important biodiversity corridor I will be walking from the Namibian border to Cape Town in the N7 road reserve. The aim is to map the rare and endangered plants found in the reserve and assess the condition of the vegetation at regular intervals on the entire route. This data will inform future management of the road reserve and through media attention will raise public awareness about the floral assets found in the road reserve. The walk is planned for August/September 2008.
