Welcome to our blog, we are the sandmen, Guy Cockin, Tavis Walker and James Vessey, three archaeologists (in some cases ex archaeologists) who have risen to the challenge of the Plymouth Banjul rally. The rally occurs annually and is what might be called the banger equivilant of the Paris Dakar race. The rally is all about raising money for charity, in our case Wateraid www.wateraid.org.uk. So if you want to aid us in our drive to raise £4000 you can donate via paypal on this website!

The hunt is on

OK, so now we just need to get our passports and visas back from the Mauritanian embassy and its all plain sailing.......... apart from everything else we have to do like getting maps, sand ladders, spares for the Jeep etc.

However we do now have a ferry booked and will be leaving from the official start line which is at the Triangle car park at the Serpentine, Hyde Park at 10am on the 19th December, so come and see us off!

Latest donation £50 bringing the grand total to £300
