On Twitter, the handle 'hardestgeezer'. Russ Cook is on day 360 and final day if running the entire length of Africa for charity


He's been robbed and held at gunpoint in Angola, seperated from his team in the jungle, and pissed blood for days on end

Yet somehow, he has ran over 16000 kilometres to become the first man in history to ever do it

Been following him from about day 30 thinking theres no way he does it.

Anyone else seen him? Some human feat

I've heard about it but haven't followed it, sounds interesting.
I once read a book about 3 lads who bought the Goodies bike from a BBC prop sale and rode across Africa on it and that was a great tale.

For those who know the term, he seems to me to be a prime Milkshake Duck candidate

A guy with a cavalier attitude to his own safety and a penchant for strawberry daiquiris who calls himself “Hardest Geezer”? I’m not saying he’s going in front of The Hague but his social media accounts must be a minefield!

Never heard the expression before and had to Google it, I've come across a few of those.

Don't know how legit this is but it wouldn't surprise me. The bloke is definitely a bit unhinged somehow. Apparently a documentary coming at some point which will be a great watch.

He’s from Worthing, so not much of a surprise.
