We're off

diff22000 · Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2014 9:38 am Post subject: We're off

Busy time prepping the Team Chaos Discovery for the Macmillan 4x4 UK challenge. Lights fitted, vehicle cleaned inside and out, plus all of the kit checked over and double checked. Just have the packing of my clothes, meds, etc left to do.
We set off for Ludlow today where we are booked into a Travel Lodge ready for the start on thursday.
I will try to update you at least once a day and we are taking quite a bit of camera equipment etc but, as always, it depends if we can get a mobile signal in the middle of nowhere.

For those of you who have donated...thank you all sooooo much, you really are helping to make such a difference.

For those of you who have not yet donated, I understand times are hard and you may have your own chosen charities that you subscribe to.
However, even �1 can make such a difference to so many so please try.

You can donate here www.justgiving.com/team_chaos

PLEASE NOTE......TEAM CHAOS TAKE NO MONEY FOR EXPENSES. TOM AND I ARE FUNDING THIS FROM OUR OWN POCKETS. IF YOU DONATE �1 THEN MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT RECEIVE �1 +20% GIFT AID IF YOU ARE A UK TAXPAYER AT NO EXTRA COST TO YOU.

So please try to donate.

Best wishes

Colin. Very Happy

Just for info, I'm having a bit of trouble donating, seems to be an issue with justgiving. Will keeping.

I don't know what your talking about, I've obviously wiped that episode from my memory!

Hi guys,

Justgiving all sorted now Smile

I dont seem to be able to post pics on here so can I ask DD if he wouldnt mind copying etc from both my own fb page and the Team Chaos fb page as well.
Sorry to be a pain.

Anyhow first section completed and we answered every single clue and finished the stage with time to spare. We are now just outside Market Harborough and have had our evening meal of chicken curry and rice followed by treacle pudding and custard washed down with a couple of glasses of port...very tasty.
We start again at 9 am tomorrow. .

Cheers
Colin Smile

Today's installment, unfortunately no pics of the blown out glow plug on the motorway, but we do have photos f the affect of the cold after they got the motor fixed......

Ice on the inside of the tent seemingly.....

And tonight's cocktail to keep them warm together in the small, cozy, tent.....

I am now officially afraid...

DD · Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2014 11:27 pm Post subject:

You should be scared, that cocktail wasn't the only cherry to be eaten in the tent tonight!

( for those of a sheltered or innocent nature, there is an element of joshing going on here!).

Been busy in ceri and Radnor forests today, so not many photos.

Colin is so tired, he's only having the 1 tonight as a nightcap....
