Debbie and I had the pleasure of going to a gathering organised by Heather on Saturday at her home in Surrey to thank supporters past and present of The Gambia horse and donkey trust. A huge ammount of work had gone into errecting marquee's, and preparation of food including some traditional Gambian dishes, it was great to catch up with some old friends like Ros and Anna, naturally Heather was much in demand but I managed a quick chat and asked about the road that was built up river in The Gambia with a little help from some great members of this forum (for those that might be interested here is a link to a little trip some of us did in 2010. http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php/218794-Thunder-s-Road-Calum-s-Road-2010/page8) by all accounts the road is holding up well but there has been some deep water flooding at times so the road has had some erosion which requires maintenance now and again.
Heather has written a bit of a report about the evening on Facebook but I have no idea how to link you to it, but search for The Gambia horse and donkey trust( or Heather Amstrong ) if interested and hopefully you will find it.
