These are provisional dates and are a guideline for me to sketch out a pathway to Lagos for the test run down to Lanzarote and then onto the starting line in Antigua for the MGR 2029. I realise that I should be puting down hours of work for this project but to be honest I am finding that difficult as I am standing, looking and wondering what to do a lot 🙂
