Hi all,

Apologies for not getting more updates to the site – but the great hopes I had for telecommunications along the way did not pan out.

I will be home shortly, and I hope to be able to give a good roundup of the last number of weeks – a lot has happened, that’s for sure.

Until then, a warm goodbye from Sunny Gambia!

And to start off, Happy New Year to you all.

This short(‘ish) – post is just to let you know of a little trip that I am about to embark on
with some friends.

The short version:
Myself and two friends are going to take a 27 year old Mercedes Benz
280CE all the way to The Gambia. Why? For fun – and also for charity, as
after we have arrived in Banjul in The Gambia, the car will be auctioned
off and all proceeds will be going to a local charity organisation.

This trip is also known as the Plymouth-Banjul challenge.

A Mayo News Article can be found here:

The main site with information regarding the challenge can be found

Pictures of our car here

One of two pages that I hope I will be update en route with some
information from the trip here
and here

An approximate route and timeline of where we will be can be found here

I have no idea if I will be able to post during the trip, but if I can – I will (maybe)

So until February some time – have a good one, and I’ll see you then
