Sean vs Snake🐍 (it’s not even March 17th)Mad scenes in Tuan Giao…a one night stay turned into two as Day 14 was a write off! @downsean wandered off into the bushes for a leak only to step on a snake…it lashed out as you do when a 100kg man steps on you, and got Sean on the ankle. Cobra? Likely. @travelwithburra - can’t take the Aussie outta him said β€œfuck it mate, she’ll be right!” But sensibly we went to the hospital to get a blood test! 12 hours later, and a few extra tests (as the Viet doctors do) - we got the news we expected! Sean is Irish - who knew?! And he got lucky - no venom! So the next day we got back to it!! 37km in 7hrs - lots of kids, and a finish in the dark! Get around the lads and donate! Or don’t - but that’s on you! #vietnam #charity #endhumantrafficking #charitywalk #hiking #viral #dogood #snakebite #cobra

The launch from the Hanoi Opera House seems like so long ago! Today we’ve been dealing with the extremes of weather Vietnam provides : from heavy storms to blistering heat; but we are always rewarded with amazing views and the fantastic kindness of people. Lunch was on the house today at a roadside restaurant as a β€œthank you” from the owners for us doing our bit fighting slavery. Great food, drinks and even a bit of balm for our tired feet. (Even the karaoke next door couldn’t ruin this lunch!)The bodies are simultaneously getting stronger and also picking up little niggles here and there. Blisters, ankles, knees and hips are all talking to us now. The day is truly long and tough. But we always know that we can stop whenever we need to; we can change plans; we can take rest days. People in slavery don’t have this option and don’t know when, or if, they will be freed.This is where Blue Dragon comes in. However, they can’t do the work without funding. That’s why we’re doing this walk: to raise consciousness, engage the public, and get the money needed help people who are most in need of it. Please give generously if you can. https://give.bluedragon.org/fundraisers/steps-against-slaveryIf you can’t, you can still help us by amplifying our message ❀️Please follow and share a reel, and a comment or a thumbs up here and there really helps too. Lots of love @travelwithburra and @downsean ✌️Daily Stats: 32km. Great vibes. Awesome day! Using @macpac @teva #vietnam #thailand #laos #walk #charity #reels #reelsvietnam #viral #viralvideos

We can't say enough good things about these guys - excellent artwork, relaxed and fun vibe, the absolute perfect balance of professional & fun. Honestly so happy - thank you and see you again! 🐲

www.instagram.com/p/DMccp--RLi4/ Jake finally gets real, the poxie Hobbit. Bit of an unsatisfying deus ex machina when Gandalf the grey just gets yeeted back to Middle Earth IMHO. Anyone else expect Sam to tackle Gollum off the ledge at the end? Fuck it, let's have 14 endings. πŸ’ͺ #stepsagainstslavery

Also not unlike magic is/are Lecka bars - tasty vegan goodness. They tend to go straight in my big stupid face!πŸ’š

This week alone we've had the Irish embassies in Vietnam and Thailand step up, as well as 2 new sponsors: Pyramid Logistics and iVegan! ❀️
