Two weeks ago Luke McKenna departed Georgetown for what was to be one of those rare expeditions into Guyana’s hinterlands.
Three years after promising himself, and friends, that he would cycle to Lethem from Georgetown, the 27-year-old finally departed Georgetown.
McKenna made his very first trip to Guyana about three years ago and said that the very first time he travelled to Lethem, he decided to take the bus. To his surprise, McKenna said he found the trail “awesome” and indicated to one of his friends that one day he would return to Guyana to cycle the trail.
