I was asked by an acquaintance a couple of weeks back to accompany him and some other travellers on a charity run to the Gambia.
this will involve driving a bus (if we can source one) and some old battered and hopefully reliable series three land-rovers from the UK out to Gambia via Spain, Morocco, Western sahara, Mauritania, Senegal and into Gambia.
these vehicles will then be donated to the charity Shine Africa for them to use.
the run is called the Rainbow run. we also have a facebook page
we are hoping to start the journey in the first quarter of 2012. and at the moment we have 5 vehicles and 10 people signed up.
I will try to give you an idea of the fun I am having trying to get organised!
first thing on the list is an old land-rover and I might have sourced one in south Wales it needs two things 1) bringing home to north east Scotland and 2) a touch of welding!
I am intending to drive down to Wales at the end of the month to meet the rest of the crew so will be taking the trailer to bring the landy back, oh and he has been christened Crusty!
so the fun begins!
