Miss Ashley Frances Hunter. Age 20
 
Specialist Skills: Wheat intolerance, shelf building and cider drinking
 
The youngest member of the group, as the name suggest she is happiest with a bow and arrow catching our dinner. Arguably the bravest team member because as well as the African wildlife Ashley has the boys to contend with. Will bring a lighter touch and referee's whistle to the party. A welcome late edition to the trip.

Haydnprofile.jpg

Captain Haydn Charles Williams. Age 23
 
Specialist Skills: Truck wrecking and fixing (we hope)
 
The group grown up, (going on the fact he is the oldest, not maturity) Haydn hails from North London. He's the "little" (as little as an 18 stone man can be) joker of the group and can put a smile on your face no matter how rubbish your feeling (mind you I've only know him about 2 months). Generally an all round sound chap, handy to have around in all situtations whether requiring strengh or problem solving!

The Truck, MAN 630 2LA Age 47
 
Specialist Skill: Fuel Drinking and handsomness
 
The Truck was born in Germany in 1960 and used as a forward office for the German Military, it was retired in 1993 and transformed into a luxury motor home for overlanding. It was brought to the UK in 2004 where it sat abandoned for 2 years until it was discovered by the motlly crew and ressurected into the cross continental beast that stands before us today.
