Wheelbarrow Across the Sahara

On Christmas Eve, Geoffrey Howard, a parish priest from Manchester, left Beni Abbes in Algeria. His destination was Kano in Nigeria.With only the clothes he stood in and a Chinese sailing wheelbarrow to carry his belongings, he aimed to be the first man to cross the Sahara on foot. He was unaided by vehicle or camel and used only natural supply and watering points.That he achieved it at all is remarkable; that he crossed 2,000 miles of the harshest terrain in the world in only ninety-four days is miraculous.
