The Rally Is Almost Upon Us

Is it really so long since we updated this site? Time has flown by and it's just 3 days to go til we head off to London the day before launch day! If anyone would like to join us at the launch party get yourself to Hyde Park around 10am on Saturday 30th of July - everyone's welcome!

We have been working hard preparing for the trip and of course we still haven't finished, although we're getting there - Neil is working very hard and Marvin finally got his seats fitted today and tomorrow he will be wired for sound and insulated, hopefully he will have a paint job before we go, but that's the last of things on the agenda. The dvla at Swansea haven't processed our much needed V5c and I am frantically trying to get it sorted via the Sheffield office, then all the paperwork will be complete at last.

Big thank yous to Stephen at Abbey signs for producing our sponsor stickers at such short notice and to everyone at the bike rally last weekend - we raised £95 towards our sponsorship, thanks also to voluntary and admin staff at Barnsley hospital who raised another £120 and to The Geordie Broon MCC for their donation of £70. More thanks to The Squires MCC for their sponsorship of £100 and to The Penguins MCC for their pledge too - thank you also to family and friends who have helped the total amount rise even more!

Fear not if you haven't donated yet - there's plenty of time left - just because we will be away on the rally doesn't stop you donating to the site - http://www.justgiving.com/marvindoesmongolia

We are hoping to update this site while we are away and thank you to Tim who is going to do the postings for us - provided of course that we can send text messages - we were hoping to manage it ourselves but none of the companies we tried (and there were many) were willing to loan us a satellite phone for a month. So keep reading and hopefully you will be able to follow our progress.
