The end of the road

Well its morning and just had breakfast. The team are still asleep and probably be nursing the results of a night out in Monaco soon.

Just like to say thanks to the team for a memorable enjoyable journey. Thanks to Miranda an Pauline for supplying an in car sweet shop for the journey. Thanks to Robin for endlessly placing his foot in his mouth with the girls. Thought that would be me. The sugar highs apparently saved our lives from tired drivers ;-)

2 days in costume... man it feels nice to be abandoning El Barto

Finally a massive thank you to all of you that have sponsored us for this worthwhile cause

Till next year :-)
