to the Nile brewery!!After passing Bulumagi and Lugalambo we reach the welcome coolness of the Mabira forest reserve. As we exit the forest we’ll be met by the lively market sellers with stalls of amazing fruits and the smell of their roasting chicken on the charcoal.
After enjoying the roasted chicken we will continue though the tea plantations and hills through Najembe to Lugazi (the home of ugandan sugar) and a comfortable bed for the night!!
News update:
We started the day at the later time of 6.30am and returned to the Nile Brewery but alas no Nile special.. at least we have Moonberg with us!!! The run from the Nile started up hill and continued up hill for a few Km's.... "Now that was a good wake up call for Bumba"!!!
The communities all came out to see our progress today and they
were so happy, it helped us get up the hills!!! The pace today was again quite fast as most of the team were fresh and it was a little cooler through the forest legs!! As we left the forest we came to the market sellers and their amazing chicken on the stick... The team joined the Uganda Red Cross team in providing first aid and road advice. At one point we parked the pick up and one of the team jumped up on the back off it to talk to the crowds. It was an amazing experience and the
feedback was so positive.
We were escorted into Lugazi by the traffic police and other members of the local Red Cross that kept us company on the final tough hills. At the end the run the Red Cross ran awareness sessions for the local people and encouraged them to support others in their community with first aid awareness and road safety. T
We have now completed 4 days and we are beginning to realise that we will make it to K
ampala on Saturday... One more long day tomorrow and the final sprint on Saturday will be with us!!Please leave your comments, by clicking the 'Comments' link below
