There were many people that helped me in many ways to make this trip possible, I truly appreciate the help from everyone. I hope I have remembered everyone, but i'm sure there are many others who need thanks...

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.
