Been working in West Africa for the past 3 month.

Couldnt get on the site because of the PASSION part!!

Sorry No FORDS anywhere .. Only Toyota's .. And for good reason.

Anyhow thought I would throw some pics up for anybody interested in the place or looking to venture out there in the future.

Accra.



My Truck (Toyota Land-Cruiser What else )



Crazy driving here .. Even worse than Calgary



As good as it gets! Once you leave the Cape-Coast.



In the middle of the Jungle. (Another Toyota Land-Cruiser)





Camp



Some Local wildlife.







Our latest edition to the snake fighting squad.



Some of the Kit I look after.





On the Piss with an Aussie Chap.



The Place is pretty much safe .. We venture out to the local towns on days off (Drink the local Piss)

About 5 weeks in I got struck down with Malaria ... Not too Bad TBH .. Took a day off work ...

 

looks good there,
fuck that local 'wild life' though

 

WOW! Those moths/butterflies look amazing!!!

Kitten is cute too! lol

 

Aye some pretty fancy insects on the job.

The Kitten was found in the drill shed ... The adult wild cats stick with us as the locals eat them (Nice sweet meat Apparently!)

The Cats Kill smaller snakes like Green Mamba ..

They also work as an early detection when This 7ft Black Spitting Cobra turned up.
