Financial sponsorship is finally kicking into action with Chris and I taking around £250 each from our work/freinds/small children that we held upside down and shook... Our parents have been roped in, in various ways to raise money/kit too. Well done them. Other important news is that Steph is making us a Crimbo cake to take away and eat in a carpark in Morrocco somewhere. Lovely. Also, as promised I finally did the GIF animation. Sorry about the quality and you have to click on the image... sorry, but it really is a feast for the eyes and mind.

We still have car seats, camping stuff and roof rack to sort, various bits of outstanding paperwork, Oh, and the route to plan! Chris will be doing a tour of Edison Schools next Friday and then it really will be pack up and go... I've finally got around to posting the picture of the roofrack and cans, thanks again to those involved. NB that is not my lounge in the picture, its a set... I have much better taste and some furniture!
