University graduation, the reality of working life, thwarted love and the terrifying prospect of growing up - the traditional breeding ground for many amazing adventures and ideas. So when, in this atmosphere of anxiety and dread, two strangers, Ian and Alan, started playing a simple game of pool in the local pub, it was almost inevitable that a life changing idea would be born.

In a desperate effort to hide the fact that he was losing badly, Alan tried to distract Ian from the table:
"Did you see the football last night? Have you found a job ? Do you fancy cycling to Africa?"

It only took a second, but that was it. Ian's eyes lit up and EyeOnAfrica was born. (Alan still lost the game).

So, despite never having done anything quite like it before, the two students start to plan what would undoubtedly become the greatest road trip of their lives, a 12, 000-mile bicycle ride from London to Cape Town.

EyeOnAfrica is their fascinating story.
