The British High Commissioner, Iain Walker has pedalled his way across the country to highlight health and tourism issues.
995km done. Tomorrow: Accra.
Ended our penultimate day cycling along the iconic Akosombo Dam: natural beauty, natural clean power. Grateful to Akim for our tour. Now for some rest & re-energising - can’t think of anywhere better than @TheRoyalSenchi. #TheGhanaGrand 🚴💨🇬ðŸ‡ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ pic.twitter.com/80seujdTgj — Efo Kordzo Walker 🇬🇧🇬ðŸ‡ðŸ‡¹ðŸ‡¬ðŸ‡§ðŸ‡¯ (@walkeriain) August 17, 2019
