Paralysed in a sporting accident aged 21, Al Moncrieff-Smith feared his travelling days were over. Twelve years on,he has once more proven that, ‘to achieve the possible, you must attempt the impossible’,
successfully crossing Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia in a Land Rover 110, together with able-bodied team mates,
Matt Boddy, Suresh Paul and Terena Bailey.

The expedition set out to promote inclusive adventure travel, disability awareness and conservation in Africa
and the UK, and became much more.
An excerpt from their diary reads: Day 9 - Mwea Mission Hospital: ....During our visit a young girl stepped
forward and said to me "I will never forget the day that you came to our village for the rest of my life". On
reflection I feel that this is the first time that I arrived in Africa. I feel like I have received a lesson in humanity,
which I will always carry with me.

Fresh from Africa, this will be the first chance to hear from this inspiring team - about their personal voyages of
discovery, the extraordinary people and places they encountered, and the highs and lows of wheelchair travel.
Wheel the World Project Africa 2002 has been made possible through the generosity of the Winston Churchill
Memorial Trust Fellowship with the support of the Inclusive Expedition Unit of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
In the last eight years, ‘Wheel the World’ teams have crossed more than ten countries in four continents, raising
money for social and environmental projects.
