Story

14 days, 4000 miles, 12 countries, two idiots, one sauna.

Hello old bean,

So glad you've made it this far. We'll keep this brief as we're sure you've got the idea by now:

On August 27th we leave Blighty in our Swedish Steamroller: one and a half tons of pine cladded G-Reg Volvo. We'll join the Czech Wrecks banger endurance rally at Calais and accompany the other teams for four days of intense driving, reappearing somewhere near Prague in the Czech Republic. From here, where most sane mortals would head back home for a hot shower, Captain Sharrad and First Mate Wilkinson will steer the good vessel HMS Stockholm all the way to Sweden via Germany, Poland and a very long ferry journey. All that remains after that, is for us to return home with the Sauna intact.

We should hardly break a sweat...  

The most important thing that you can do is sponsor us. All money donated through the website makes its way to Samantha Dickson Brain Tumor Trust. This means there is absolutely no chance of either Chris or myself spending it on an expensive Italian suit. 

If you're in a position to be generous, that would be wonderful: £5000 is a high target. But whatever you can give will be an immeasurable help: we’re sincerely grateful that you’ve decided to back our somewhat barmy venture and in the process provide much needed support to Samantha Dickson Brain Tumor Trust.

Tally ho and anchors aweigh,

Tom and Chris
