Third day in a row exploring the incredible trails of #RodriguesIsland, courtesy of @ile_rodrigues_tourisme. During @expafrica, I had to rush at speed along the trail from the village of #StFrancoise, but today made for a more leisurely exploration. This may not make sense if you're in the company of two world-class #trailrun legends like @landiegreyling and @christiaangrey, so let me explain... We had their 13-month old Baby Christopher with us. And he was fast asleep, in a @thule pram. With a base filled with beer, provisions, #snorkel kit, and a few kitchen sinks. The trail very quickly morphed into a series of cliff scrambles and boulder-hopping descents, so in the end Christiaan and I carried the young Royal in his lofty carriage in the worthy new #ar discipline of #HikeAPerambulator ... something to consider for your next event, @heidikinetic 🤔😅🙄 The cold @phoenixbeermru at the amazing #ansebouteille - together with unmatched natural grandeur and superb snorkelling - is what makes @rodriguesisland such a truly unique destination. On Sunday, 1400x trail runners will tackle the extreme #trailrodrigues to pass along this spectacular coastline ... These photos gives a sneak peek of what the athletes from around the world will be running through 🏃🌍🗺️ Incredible effort by @remy.caroline.5, @meunier.arnaud, @tyrodriggirdoryt, @francoisleguatreserve the whole crew. And looking forward to seeing @laurent_valette73, @clo.harper et al out on the route 🙌🏻🙏👏👏👏 #RodriguesTrail #IslandRunning #TrailParadise #yeti #garminsa #beatyesterday #sealandgear #discovernewpaths #TribalTourist #ifollowthetribe #sony #sonyza #hellosonyza #sonyxperiaza #oZoneAfrica #AndBreathe (at Rodrigues Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4VUoCopJue/?igshid=1m6fkkznh69ne

Come Wednesday, I'll be flying back to this amazing place ✈️🏝 🌊 Before shooting @expafrica with @heidikinetic and the amazing #ExpeditionAfrica crew in August, I had no idea where @rodriguesisland was, and now I'm heading back there just a couple of months later to shoot #trailrodrigues ... These photos capture a few of the landscapes athletes from around the world will be running through 🏃🌍🗺️ Can't wait to hook up with @christiaangrey, @landiegreyling, @remy.caroline.5, @meunier.arnaud, @clo.harper, @tyrodriggirdoryt and all the amazing people of this exquisite island paradise :-) #RodriguesIsland #RodriguesTrail #IslandRunning #TrailParadise #trailrun #run #yeti #barefoot #t.rocket #minimalist #garminsa #beatyesterday #sealandgear #discovernewpaths #TribalTourist #ifollowthetribe #sony #sonyza #hellosonyza #ormsdirect #ishootwithorms #sonyxperiaza #oZone #oZoneAfrica #AndBreathe (at Port Mathurin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4H2-dbJEGw/?igshid=17eyuho9xijdi

Trails, trails, trails & more #trails ... Having covered the island of #Rodrigues during @kineticeventsZA's #ExpeditionAfrica this year has opened my eyes to the incredible landscape and diverse terrain of this eastern-most #mascarene outcrop in the faraway Indian Ocean. Add to this beautiful people, endless smiles, great food and an unmatched island vibe, and you cannot help but wanting to head back here. Well, the annual #TrailRodrigues #trailrun is the perfect endurance carrot, and you have just on a month to get your dodos in a row... Think subterranean caves, ancient tortoises, pristine beaches, jungle footpaths, scenic coasteering and seriously challenging ascents. And you get to do all of this on an idyllic paradise island!? Plus, once you're done, there are endless opportunities for #snorkeling, #kiteboarding and lazy beach days, so add it to your #BucketList right now 🏝 💚 #RodriguesIsland #RodriguesTrail #IslandRunning #TrailParadise #ifollowthetribe #ishootwithorms #sonyxperiaza #hellosonyza #sonyza (at Rodrigues Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ElepAHemn/?igshid=1ldmvwl4xcgj2
