Welcome to the Vet on a Bike website.  My name is Ian Wright and I’m an English veterinary surgeon.  Later this year, I will be setting out on what I hope will be an epic adventure: cycling from the UK to South Africa, raising funds for the Born Free Foundation, stopping in to see some of their projects along the way, doing some work for them and other charities where I can and fulfilling a life-long dream to travel overland through Africa.

As I go, I’ll be keeping this website updated with tweets, blog posts, maps and photos.  If you’d like regular updates, you can subscribe by email, Facebook or Twitter using the buttons on the left.

The entire expedition will be completely self-financed, with every penny raised going directly to the Born Free Foundation – please do consider donating using the JustGiving box.
