CyclEclipse
"In stark contrast to the serenity of Harare's wonderful new airport, we're back at Gatwick. It's 5.30am, dull, overcast and cool. Missing Zimbabwe already. Apparently, we've also missed an event almost as rare as the eclipse we recently witnessed - a UK heatwave!"
Still, we couldn't complain. We've just spent three weeks in one of the world's most amazing countries, cycling to raise money for rhino conservation projects in Zimbabwe and Cameroon. So, how did we get on?

Galactic Help for Rhinos
Charging hot on the heels of the 2005 movie, an unique opportunity for fans of the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy arrived at Christie's in South Kensington when author Douglas Adams' autographed typewriter came under the hammer in aid of Rhino Recovery.
Originally donated by Douglas in 1998 to raise money for wildlife conservation, all proceeds from the typewriter's sale were earmarked to go to Rhino Recovery, with funds directed to rhino conservation projects in Africa and Asia, a cause close to Douglas's heart.
On the day the typewriter went for the amazing sum of GBP 2,000.
Our grateful thanks to Crispin Jackson and his team at Christie's South Kensington for all the hard work put into promoting the sale.
