Just Giving Target - £1000

I thought that all of our sponsors would like to know that we reached our target of £1000, but then due to the gift aid system and the fact that some people did not want to use the Justgiving website good old Gordon Brown took his share..... :-(

On behalf of the team, I would like to thank all those who supported us your generosity was much appreciated by Sobel House.

Was it worth it.....

Your damed right it was...

Somewhere in the Alps....

I only told you to blow the Bl**dy doors off.....

Well since my last post we are now back in Blighty. After leaving the girls in Madrid to catch there flight home, Pete and I set off on our long journey home (Tom Tom says Noooooooooooooo).

Actually Tom Tom said approx 15Hrs to Calais! This of course turned into a challenge to beat Tom Tom, and of course we tried; leaving Madrid at about 13:30 Hrs and arriving in Calais at 05:30 Hrs the following morning!

We thought sixteen hours was pretty good considering stops for fuel etc.

Tuesday - Homeward bound

After spending the day in Madrid we parted company with the Girls who flew back to Luton; while the we (Dave & Pete) drove back to Calais bringing Quenton the Quattro Home...!!!

Quattro's Rule..... :-)

Monday - Barcelona to Madrid

All motorway, the shortest and fastest part of our entire journey but still entertaining!

This allowed us plenty of time to party!

Bring on the Beer...!!!

Sunday - Menton to Barcelona

Half motorway and half mountain roads, we decided to test the car and take the hard route through Andora.

It was well worth it! Driving towards Barcelona out of the mountains was quite something as the Sun was setting. It has made the entire trip worth while:-) Arrived 21:30 Hrs at the Hotel thanks to Tom Tom and Anna Anna!

Saturday - Geneva to Menton (Monaco)

What can I say, fantastic but there was only one problem the girls were not looking forward to the days drive.

This was mainly due to the route being straight through the middle of the alps! Needless to say there were a few moments where they were hiding behind their travel pillows! (Many Photos to upload) Arrived in Menton and had issues with the hotel, but had a fantastic meal and walked along the sea front. We arrived at 20:30 Hrs, some who had taken the more testing route did not make it into Menton until the early hours of the morning!

Team 59 - 'Bad Boys' Leaving the Hotel in style, as usual...

Friday - Calais to Geneva

We started in the City Europe car park in Calais at 09:00 Hrs, with the other 74 teams all raring to go. All of the cars looked great, in fact ours was looking too good compared to some....!! We put this down to the fact that Pete and I are anal about cleaning our cars and had spent the best part of a day cleaning it:-)


We set off after the air horn was blown and everyone was trying to get to the exit first to collect their days rally pack, which had all of the challenge details enclosed.

The days run was mostly motorways until we reached Switzeland, when it got really interesting!
We drove through the mountains on very windy roads in the dark through cloud cover, thank´s to the additional spotlights we arrived safely!
