Meet George and I in Dinder National Park, Sudan.
We were just setting up camp when some of the local guys decided to pay us a visit.

Explorer, writer of travel stories and taker of mediocre photographs. I get obsessed with things. Over the years I have walked to Spain from England, hitchhiked from Amsterdam to the top of Norway and driven across East Africa. I have recently published my first book, which can be found here: https://mybook.to/AIMmMDy

Spent some time #hiking around Salt marshes in #Norfolk. On this hike we also passed the prehistoric #Seahenge, which I have always found a little unsettling.
Despite the sunshine, it was cold and windy as hell. We found some shelter in an empty tourist office that was being refurbished (last photo).

I've been thinking about how trust is a resource. Without trust, I would never have been able to hitchhike across Europe. I was powered from Amsterdam to the Arctic using the resource of trust.
Hopefully, I behaved respectfully on my travels and added to humanity's trust stockpile. Trust is self perpetuating. So, I suppose, is distrust. #hitchhiking #travel
Anyway, here's another one of the North #Norfolk coast. I love anything ramshackle. The world needs more ramshackle.
So, Sudan.
I have some great photos that I can’t upload as I have no way of getting permission from those in them. Here are some I can upload: two of the Meroë pyramids, and one taken somewhere between Khartoum, the capital, and Meroë.
The Sudanese are the most hospitable people I've ever encountered. I think we British could learn a lot from the Sudanese.
I've made a short blog post about our time in Port Sudan, should you like to read it. #travel #sudan #africa
Sinkat, #Sudan. This was once a British military office, now smithereens. I found visiting this area powerful. I was reminded of the poem Ozymandias. I collected a shard of tile. You can see it in the second photo.
There is a lot more to Sudan than this (more pyramids than Egypt, over 100 languages, great food). I'll dedicate a post to Sudan, the country, soon. I just need time to compile it and do it justice. #travel #africa
I've always been scared of social media. I've posted a bit on Instagram as a way to promote my writing, but it always left me feeling like I was grifting and that I had all the wrong photos. It dawned on me recently that my book is out in the world, and if I want anyone to read it, I'm going to have to get online.
Found Mastodon and searched #travel. Found a video of a giant mechanical elephant. I've found my people. @slowecotravel
