Excellent set of pictures, capturing an interesting event. The Robinson crew are certainly to be admired, this is not an undertaking for the faint hearted.

Sad news from Kenya,The 3 Capes Helichallenge ended in disaster on the 5th August 2012.R44 G-CMCC was totally burnt out in the incident but thankfully the crew of two managed to get out in one piece.It appears from the website the team aren't going to let this "setback" stop their adventure !
