Macclesfields Finest - Africa Overland

So for the last couple of weeks we have been holed up at Big Millys in Kokrobite on the beach, lets face it there’s worse places to be stuck.
Its been a fortnight of difficult decisions and a few goodbyes, yes unfortunately I had to say goodbye to my surfboard. Oh and […]

Following a tip from Tom and Jo who own the Green Turtle Lodge, we headed towards Cape Three points the most southerly point of Ghana. Rumour has it this is also home to the best surf breaks in Ghana.

The road is pretty poor but manageable for most vehicles when dry. The […]

After our short stay around Busua and Dixcove we wanted to spend some time in a place that really was relaxing. A lot of Bradt guide users had mentioned the Green Turtle Lodge, well out of the way down a dirt road following the coast westwards, a secluded paradise. It was […]

One of the places on the Ghana Coast which is famed for its stunning palm fringed beach is the small town of Busua. We headed here to chill out and hopefully get some surf, although everyone so far has told us that it is the wrong time of the year!
We […]

After our few days jaunting around Accra we decided to get back out to the nicer coastline, stopping first at Kakum National Park.
The Park is famous for a canopy walkway of rope bridges, only 4 in the world - apparently. We arrived in the afternoon so opted to leave the […]

After a really good and relaxing New Year in Cape Coast we decided it was time to head back into Accra, this time with the car. We said our farewells and exchanged the customary email addresses before heading off. It was also the first time we had had a passenger […]

We said goodbye to Big Millys and all the staff, I think we will be back there at sometime in the near future. The New Years plan is to head to Cape Coast, the old colonial capital of Ghana. Rumour has it the best party is going to be here, […]

After Christmas lazing around Kokrobite we decided that if we were ever going to escape we would need to find a bank in order to pay the bill. This meant that a day trip to Accra would be necessary. We had heard all the horror stories about how busy and gridlocked the […]

It has been good driving shorter distances in Ghana compared to whole days behind the wheel in other places, after 3 hours and some dodgy directions we arrived at ‘Big Millys’. It’s a great place on the beach and after meeting and chatting with a few other people and a swim/surf […]

After our nice yet slightly challenging stroll around Lake Bosumtwi (the people although nice, being the challenging part). We had a quick beer before driving finally to the coast, it did seem a bit wrong to be drinking a beer at 10 o’clock on a Tuesday morning, but we had […]
