Peckham crosses the desert

19 Sep 2016
It seems that Peckham had started his desert crossing on 6 September, as when we next heard from him on 9 September he was in southern Libya and about half-way across the desert. By the early hours of 11 September he had successfully crossed and was in northern Cameroon. He has sinced moved east and is currently in southern Chad.

No movement from Markoo

Markoo seems settled in northwest Nigeria, at what must be his stopover site before heading east towards the Congo rainforest.

Larry still settled

19 Sep 2016
Larry is still in his southern Chad stopover site.

Jack still taking it slow

19 Sep 2016
A good quality location received from Jack's tag during the evening of 17 September showed that he was still in northern Italy on the banks of the River Po, close to Lombriasco. How much longer it will be before he makes his move south we don't know but it would seem that he is now running a little late.

Still no news

19 Sep 2016

We still have no further news of Disco Tony. There is a slim chance that his tag will still spring back into life, and we have our fingers crossed that this will be the case.

No movement from David

19 Sep 2016
David is still settled in his stopover site in southern Chad.
