Getting ready for a Meander...

Tasha Saha & Eidin griffin are not just fun loving, creative sorts they are also quite possibly mad. Having decided to open a centre to promote the EcoArts in the very drizzly but charming Midlands of KwaZulu Natal they are now having to raise the funds, paint the building, run the courses, inspire the people and somehow do their other work, feed their familys and act relatively like grown ups. It's a bum rap but these two intrepid mullets are now planning on a daring adventure also. Mostly to raise funds for their beautiful Centre but also to raise awareness of ways to move around the countryside without being hefty carbon monsters.
So on Christmas Day they are abandoning their families, turkeys, trees and taking their Good Cheer on the road on horses, bicycles and on foot.....
