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!

Into Afrique

Having landed in Tangier, and made our way through several brides and chess board purchases, we headed south in convoy with Team Bodge and the Silver Fox. Two miles in and our first of a number of entanglements with the local authorities occured as guy was pulled over for speeding, but after smiling sweetly, a thousand apologies and a few forced tears money was handed back and we re on our way again and made Fes by nightfall where we accepted the trditional arabic hospitality of the Ibis Hotel.
