Locations received from Peckham's tag on 21 May showed that he was back in the UK and that he was close to the Gloucestershire/Herefordshire border, between Aston Ingham and Little Gorsley. However, we received a series of poor locations on 22 May that showed he was on his way back to the Yorkshire Dales, and when we next hear from his tag we expect him to be back at his tagging location near Sedbergh.
Peckham moves north
- 09 May 2017
Signals on May 7 show that Peckham had embarked on his desert crossing and was in the Sahara desert. When the tag switched off he hadn't yet completed the crossing. However, signals received in the last few hours show he has successfully reached Spain and completed his desert crossing. The map should update shortly to show him in the Sierra Morena Mountains.
