Dude, Where's My Car?
Our biggest obstacle at the moment for the team is purchasing a car we’ve never seen in a town we’ve never even visited.
Pat has taken it upon himself to search the net for a suitable car. We’ve settled on a Fiat Panda as Pat believes this little car would have the best chance of getting us to the finish line in Ulan-Ude, Russia.
We’ve already had some setbacks with dealerships organising a car for us but backing out at the last minute. Also, dealerships who have been ema
Ring, Ring, Why Don't You Give Me A Call

To Trivia and Beyond!
We’ve decided to run a massive Trivia night to fundraise for our two charities, Cool Earth and Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets.
It will obviously take a lot of time and effort but if we can reach our target fundraising goal it will be well worth the effort. Mark it in your diaries! May 5th at 7pm, Montefano Hall, St Gertrude’s Parish, corner of Justin & Neville St, Smithfield.
