km/day
18th November 2008 12:00 Just over the border from Yede (Liberia) in IVORY COAST 79 km SE
18th November 2008 1:00 PM Pami Town, LIBERIA 59 km SSE. 59
17th November 2008 1:00 PM Butlo, Near Binhouye LIBERIA 55 km SSE. 55
16th November 2008 1:00 PM Bossou, GUINEA. After two months in the same general area Mel has now moved 78 km to the south out of the forest and into more open habitat. It is very good to get confirmation that he is still alive and well.
29th October 2008 7:00 PM Still E of Boola, GUINEA. We are still not receiving any GPS fixes on Mel but recent, high quality, Argos satellite information has confirmed he is still in the general area but moving over short distances of several kms. so is still alive and presumably well.
18th October 2008 7:00 PM Still E of Boola, GUINEA? We have not received a definate GPS fix on Mel
for over a month now. Recently we have been getting the odd message from his satellite telling us that his solar battery is too flat to send a location. It is likely that he is just remaining under the forest canopy and his solar array is not receiving any direct sunlight. There is no reason to assume anything worse. This happened in Wales before he left!
