Peter Rattray, son of renowned South African historian and raconteur David Rattray, together with Blaze O'Byrne and backed up by Micko O’Byrne with the supplies truck, have set themselves the task of raising £50,000 in donations by biking around 15,000 miles from Rorke's Drift, where the most famous battle in British consciousness of the Zulu Wars took place, riding up the East Coast of Africa, via the land bridge between Asia and Europe, heading up to finish in Wales at the Brecon Museum to present the Brecon Museum with an artefact from this famous battle site.

What is the link between Rorke's Drift and Brecon? The 24th Foot (now The Royal Welsh) fought that battle in South Africa and the museum in Wales is dedicated to their history.

The lads will pass through many countries including: Mozambique, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Turkey, and through Central and West Europe
