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!

Well, we have had our final (and first) group planning meeting at the excelsior in Oxford (the best greasy spoon this side of Birmingham). Everything seems to be on track, we have visas, international driving permits, sun cream and shades.

The good news is that we have just recieved a very generous donation of £500 from Pierce Lord, what a legend! ('i'm speechless, what a generous guy' quote from Tavis).
