At the age of sixty, & having lived with Parkinson’s disease for over ten years, Guy Deacon CBE set out on one last adventure: to drive solo from his home in the UK 18, 000 miles & through twenty-five countries to Cape Town on the southern tip of Africa. This incredible journey, across Europe & down the full length of Africa, took the former British Army officer over twelve months. Along the way, he broke down five times, underwent one emergency evacuation, & took 3, 650 prescription pills. There are only a handful of vehicles each year which attempt this difficult journey; many never complete it.
