Story So Far
Right, I've got half a car, some sound sponsors and not nearly enough cash or time to do this. Everything is going perfectly to plan.......
She Lives!
The car starts, after 4 years in storage, she lives. not a whole bunch more news, just getting going...while the going is getting close.
Money!
First real funds are in, getting a heavy charity box now, good signs. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=434...
The car runs!
Ok, so we're still using a pesto jar as a fuel tank (although with fuel prices...) but it goes, and seems quite enthusiastic. And the visas are dribb...

Time is running out! Preparations are so very nearly complete; visas and vaccines are all sorted and the car is gagging for some dusty, 45-degree p...

Massive, ridiculously hot, covered in deserts and some of the wildest jungles in the world, vast stretches that roads just don't reach; Africa calls the Adventurist like a siren in the night. Come hither and do thyself a mischief, she says.
The Adventurists Africa Rally starts in London's Hyde Park on Friday 18th July and after a huge party with the Mongol Rally teams heads south to Cameroon.
With no set route the teams are heading in search of the sort of moments to tell their grandchildren about over and over again until they fear coming to visit the old people's home. Each year will see a new destination but it will take about the same length of time, around 3 to 4 weeks.
If you already know what you'll have for dinner for the next two weeks, this adventure is not for you. But if your perfect day starts with another step into the unknown and a possible lunchtime appointment with total disaster, take off your shoes and make yourself at home. The Adventurists Africa Rally will sort you right out.
This adventure is basically untried, untested, and quite frankly dangerous, except we don't really know how dangerous. Which is why it will be so excellent, just not everyone's cup of firewater.
