Last words from Ridgeway...

So....Its been a while since the last update from any of us, that’s because we have all been feverishly working away on preparing our vans and cars and making last minute additions and subtractions to both people coming and campsites to visit. With just 58 hours to go before the invasion of Europe starts, the van has just been given a short test drive (Scotland.... a leisurely 1400 miles in 4 days) a service and we have started stickering up the van in recognition of the fantastic donations of our sponsors have made! The van is now as ready as its ever going to be, sporting a shiny new set alloy wheels. Over the last few months we have been carpeted the van right through, We had a CB installed which proved to be temperamental at first, but after going through the system with a fine tooth comb we found that it had a broken mic, and since thats been fixed appears to be working fine. We have each had our trials with our individual vehicles, we have been busy fixing a flaw with the power steering which was bought on by my mechanic we had used previously who actually turned out to be pretty useless! The news on the grapevine is that Savage is still trying to hunt down his electrical gremlins and the Alfa is well... the Alfa Our plan is to eventually turn the transporter into the Rogue Run party bus...but not wanting to walk before we can run we will just survive this years trip and see what happens!
