Cape Agulhas to Windsor Castle
My planned journey runs from Cape Agulhas, at the southern tip of Africa, to Windsor Castle, through Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Walking will be at its heart, giving me time to meet people, explore history, culture, faith and nature, and offer practical kindness along the way. The route will evolve with local advice, border access and conditions on the ground. Where walking is unsafe or access is restricted, I’ll use transport or change course, and explain those decisions as I go. There will also be detours to places that offer something important to learn and share. The map shows the proposed route. Countries, distances and timings remain provisional.
Positions shown are delayed and reduced in precision. Leon's exact location is never published.

The route is an intention, not a timetable. Borders close, permits change, and a rerouted country is part of the story rather than a failure.
Once a week, from wherever he is
No noise. One email a week with where Leon reached, who he met, and what the kindness money did.
