Take a look at Globetrotter Tom Freemantle’s website.
He is a regular speaker at the London Globetrotters Club
and has been on British TV talking about his recent
exploits crossing the US to Mexico by mule.


Moonshine Mule: On the Hoof from...

His latest
book,
The Moonshine Mule
, focuses on the 2,700 mile walk from
Mexico to New York with Browny, a cynical but heroic
pack-mule. He lives in Oxford, where he still rides a
bicycle, but never a mule.

This site outlines Tom Fremantle’s’ extensive
journey though West Africa, through bleak, pale deserts
with scrub to lush, meandering swampland where monkeys
screech from behind mangroves: from bustling, urban casbahs
to tiny, mud-brick villages on the banks of the River
Niger.

Tom hopes the expedition will raise £30,000 for Hope and
Homes for Children, a charity which provides homes for
orphans and abandoned children, particularly in war torn
areas, including parts of West Africa. The journey will
also raise money for The Ark Charity in Milton Keynes,
which helps homeless teenagers to find lodgings and
employment.
