One year. 37 countries. 57,987 kilometres. A lifetime of memories. Years of planning had gone into this epic journey and within the blink of an eye it was over!
Thanks to our reliable Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and some amazing gear, we were able to take on some of Africa’s toughest, untouched roads.
Camping Equipment
The product that turned our car into a home was our Howling Moon 1.4 Stargazer Deluxe Roof Top Tent. The Stargazer was incredibly easy to set up and take down. The tent was equipped with six large windows, allowing ample ventilation during hotter evenings. Many nights were spent star gazing (aptly named) through the two roof windows. The best feature was the high density foam mattress. The few times we found ourselves in a hotel, we’d wake up longing for our bed. Even my mom, who absolutely despises camping (mainly because of the associated discomforts) had a sound sleep; a true testament to the quality and comfort of the Howling Moon roof top tent.

My name is Toni Metcalfe I am a mum of three children and I also have a passion for running. Not just any running but Ultra running. An Ultra run is defined by any distance over a marathon (42.2kms) but is usually much longer and on mountainous terrain. My last race was 100 miles long and across the south of England countryside.​​​​​​​
