Cape Town to Goodwood Day 20: Kampala Uganda - and then?

Tracey and Spirit of Artemis  are currently in  Kampala, Uganda - and reckon they have 27 days left until they arrive in Goodwood.  

Mary Heath made good progress at  this point in her journey (despite admin problems) and why wouldn't  she? Even then, the Sudan and rural Egypt were two countries to pass over swiftly. Both were broiling hot and very empty and a forced landing anywhere was not to be contemplated. 

In the first instance, there was the infamous Sudd to pass over - the world's largest swamp, fed by the White Nile, that expands to the size of England in the rainy season.  Politically, the area has never been stable and matters have hardly improved since South Sudan declared its independence in  July 2011. It remains one of the world's poorest countries with the highest infant mortality and female illiteracy rates in the world  as well as devastating intermittent famines and only half the population having access to water.
Its  current capital is Juba, which is also its busiest airport and this is where Tracey and the Spirit of Artemis is headed.
