Patagonia
New fencing plan threatens wildlife. Is there is an alternative to this silent massacre?
Two thousand and eight hundred miles; the equivalent of running between Lands End and John O’Groats three times! This is the distance my husband and I have now run through the continent of South America.

5000 Mile Project: A chance meeting with the ‘Earth People’ of Patagonia
My husband David and I have been winding through Patagonia’s forests and endless pampas on a running expedition from the southern-most tip of South America to the Caribbean Sea; www.5000mileproject.org, “Running for the continent’s wild lands and wildlife”.

5000 Mile Project: The silent death of a forest
On a 5000 mile run through South America you get intimately acquainted with all kinds of nature. We have taken to sleeping in the forest under-storey. But, as more and more of it is cut down or lost to grazing land, the future of this natural haven is under threat.
