We are 4 friends, Joanne, Alex, Russell and Chris. Over the coming year we will be working with 2 charities (Health the Gambia, Pageant) to raise £10k for 2 projects in The Gambia. We want your support for our attempt to drive 3,600 miles across deserts, rivers and mountains to meet the people we are helping. Easy you think? Well maybe not...

Visit to Ringwood School: we're nearly off...


Chris writes: On Monday 11 December I was invited to take Ice Cold to Ringwood School as part of the fundraising efforts for Pageant. this was the longest run that I had done in Ice Cold, she went beautifully. I even got her up to 70mph on one windy down hill section - flying! Curiously she has an alarm when you reach this speed, I can't imaging why as she is shaking and whining so much there is absolutely no doubt that you are approaching 70mph. When I eventually found the school, my map reading has still not improved - it is going to be down to Russell to make sure that we get to the Gambia. All the pupils were very impressed and the car is now covered in graffiti - she really looks the part. (see photos on website)

Saturday saw Russell and me spending Russell's money on Ice Cold, she is now resplendent in big off road tyres, air horns and a number of spotlights. So that is it one week to go and scarily we are almost ready....


So there you go - probably the last visit before the off on 28/29 Dec. The website won't be updated till after New Year so for up to date details of progress in early Jan, keep watching this space - Phil.
