We started off the Tournee de Provence by a parachute jump into very inhospitable countryside. Here we are assembling the parachutes and gaines after the jump. |
 |
Stitching a tear caused by one of the straps of the parachute as it opened. |
|
Loading broken-down trucks onto railway wagons. The Trans-Gabonaise Express took them back to Libreville. |
|
A typical village. The houses are constructed by hand from whatever material is at hand. |
|
A photo of my section at the Equator. We had to get a GPS fix to tell us exactly where the equator is - there was no sign on this road. |
 |
Certain individuals found their own methods of crossing the equator... |
 |
A view on a road construction works from the back of a VLRA. |
 |
Human remains that lay beside a road near the terrain where we did our jungle topography course. The local Gabonese population are highly superstitious and apparently this man died as a sacrifice as part of some ritual. |
