Hello,
I am not a G4 owner but I do have a G4 generously on loan from Land Rover (although currently detained by customs officials in Santos Port, Brazil).
I thought you might be interested in the progress of our expedition. Our project Atlantic Rising won the 'Go Beyond' bursary from Land Rover last year. Our idea is to circumnavigate the Atlantic along the one metre contour line - this is predicted to be the new coastline of the ocean in 100 years if sea levels continue to rise.
We are creating a network between schools in low lying communities along the way and producing classroom resources based on places we visit. We are also exploring what could be lost if sea levels continue to rise and finding about some of the innovative ways that communities around the ocean are adapting to or mitigating the problems of climate change.
In September 2009 we left the UK and drove along the coast of Europe and West Africa. We then travelled with our car by container ship from Cote d'Ivoire to Brazil. Our plan is to drive up the east coast of the Americas all the way to Canada.
We have been stuck in the mud in Mauritania, picked up hitch hiking rebels in Cote d'Ivoire and camped everywhere from beaches in Western Sahara to alleyways in Dakar.
Any advice for taking a car along the Amazon or shipping between Columbia and Panama would be welcomed.
You can find out more about us on our website
www.atlanticrising.org
and if you are feeling generous there is also the facility to make a donation to the project. Our budget has been thrown out by the month's delay in Brazil but we are still keen on finding a way to continue out ambitious plans for the next six months.
Thanks for your support!
Best wishes
Lynn
