Its simple really...Roxana, Abby, Alan & I are going to buy a car for £500 and try and drive around the entirety of France, just over 1500 miles. As part of this we are going to attempt to get our cheap car to climb one of the most well-known mountains used in the Tour de France, Mt Ventoux!

We have no idea if the car will make it up the mountain. We have no idea if the car will make it around the whole of France. We have no idea if we’ll make it around the whole of France! In fact we know very little but this is a challenge we want to take on and something we want to do for an exceptionally worthy cause. And we are going to do all of this dressed as Hippies...of course!
