Reaching Gough Island, a British territory, involves a seven-day boat ride from South Africa.
Gough Island is a dependency of Tristan da Cunha - itself a remote British territory in the south AtlanticA British wildlife group is looking for someone to work on one of the remotest islands in the world for 13 months.It is around 1,500 miles from the African mainland - and, with no airport, reaching Gough involves a seven-day boat ride from South Africa.They are among the seven full-time employees - and eight million birds - who call Gough home.
"I think Bekah and I, being British, thought we were used to rain," Lucy says. "But there's a lot of rain." "The main thing I certainly miss is just like a crunchy carrot, or being able to bite into a nice apple. Just some crunch, but apart from that - I don't feel like I'm really missing much." The takeover time refers to the period once a year, in September, when some employees on Gough pack up and return home, and new workers take over."In an odd sort of way I kind of feel like I'm more connected to my friends and family here than I probably was when I worked up in Scotland," says Rebekah.
