The Walk. Peter Barry
this walk is to bring the world’s attention once again to the plight of Mujtabaa’s fellow Ethiopians. He wants to raise money to feed them. As you know, many parts of Africa are still suffering from – in Michael Buerk’s famous phrase back in October 1984 – “a famine of biblical proportions”, and Mujtabaa is the face of that tragedy. Anne Chaffey, a nurse who has worked in Ethiopia for over 40 years, will accompany him on his walk. The walk will end in Trafalgar Square at a rally against world hunger on Sunday.’
This brief statement was followed by questions.
‘How far are you hoping to cover every day?’
‘Trafalgar Square is about 25 to 30 miles from here, depending on the route. We intend to start on the A4, then take the A3006 – the old Roman road – through Hounslow and Brentford.’ He indicated the map on the wall behind him. ‘We’ll cross the Thames into Richmond, possibly Barnes, then walk through Chiswick, Hammersmith, Fulham, Chelsea and, finally, Westminster.’
‘So you’re not intending to walk far every day?’
