Smoked Repeaters

The car, now with smoked side repeaters! Looks better than the standard ones.
Just need some new wheels and a 3.0 back box...anyone got one?

MY Final Route

OK, I have decided on the final route that my family and I will be taking.

It goes like this:-

Monday 17/08/09 - Day 1 - Lands End to Ilfracombe - 128 miles
Tuesday 18/08/09 - Day 2 - Ilfracombe to Lechlade - 147 miles
Wednesday 19/08/09 - Day 3 - Lechlade to Ashbourne - 116 miles
Thursday 20/08/09 - Day 4 - Ashbourne to Kendal - 138 miles
Friday 21/08/09 - Day 5 - Kendal to Bryness - 130 miles
Saturday 22/08/09 - Day 6 - Bryness to Aberfoyle - 118 miles
Sunday 23/08/09 - Day 7 - Aberfoyle to Fort Augustus - 123 miles
Monday 24/08/09 - Day 8 - Fort Augustus to Helmsdale - 102 miles
Tuesday 25/08/09 - Day 9 - Helmsdale to John O' Groats - 52 miles

TOTAL MILEAGE = 1054 miles

The reason for the fairly low daily mileage is that I will have a 12 year old, a 2 year old and my wife travelling with me, and none of them travel too well :)

Each To His Own

After some pretty exhausting emails to and from some of the charities that were in line to receive the proceeds from this trip, I reckon it will be best for each driver to nominate his own charity and arrange the sponsorship themselves.

I think I will go for either the Berkshire Air Ambulance or UNICEF.

The rough route is:-

Lands End - Newton Abbot - Exeter - Shaftsbury - Cirencester - Warwick - Burton On Trent - Huddersfield - Kendal - Keswick - Penrith - Carlisle - Paisley - Invergarry - Inverness - John O' Groats.

Well, that will give you a rough idea.

Sponsorship and Support

We are looking for as much sponsorship and support as possible, both corporate and individual. This drive will be for charity and all proceeds will be donated to that charity.
The drivers of the vehicles will be funding the entire trip (including fuel and accomodation) themselves and that's why we need some level of sponsorship.
