It's the kind of never-say-die attitude Alun Wyn Jones himself would be proud of. Four Wales rugby fans turned up to the airport and found out their flight to South Africa was cancelled - and no direct flights were available for days. But rather than turn around and admit defeat, as well as cut their losses sell their match tickets, the plucky quartet weren't giving up that easy. They were determined to get to Cape Town - even if it meant taking the most ridiculous of routes to get there.
And over the next 36 hours that's precisely what happened for Roger Francis and his pals Ryslwyn Kinsey, Paul Griffiths, and Gazzy Davies - who took five planes and end up in six countries during their 11,000 mile trip.
Speaking from Nairobi Airport after a 10-hour layover Roger, said: "It was either go across Africa or go home, so we thought let's do it."
