Fundraising for Cookham Dean School PTA
Story
We are the Furkin Cheetahs and the Mavericks taking part in the Nutty to Nice banger rally. Each car has been bought for less than £500 each and decorated in two quite different themes - the pictures speak for themselves. The whole rally is self-funded and every penny raised will go to the school PTA.
We leave Cookham on Thursday afternoon, take the Eurotunnel and arrive in the in the vibrant and cultural city of Lille in northern France.
On Day 1 following registration and briefing the banger rally heads off on a remarkable course covering five countries in just one day! With the final destination being Thun, just on the edge of the Swiss Alps.
On Day 2 as the rally leaves Thun we warm the cars up heading round a magnificent alpine lake before snaking straight up the first spectacular mountain pass of the day. Cars will be heading over five to seven passes on this first monster day finishing off in the northern Italian ski town of Livigno, a fantastic duty free ski resort.
Day 3 of the banger rally offers glitz, glamour and sophistication! We head out of Livigno back into Switzerland over the old smugglers pass and then down through St Moritz and on to Lake Como. After this its south to the sea and the Italian Riviera for a swim and a look around Portofino.
The final day of the rally the teams head west to the final destination, The Cote d Azur - The route is pretty straight forward with the drive taking in both the Italian and French Rivieras allowing time for a stop and a couple laps of the F1 track in Monaco before heading on to a lively city centre bar for the final celebrations.
Any donations go to the school PTA and benefit from GiftAid. We are very grateful for any amount and thank you for reading this far.
We hope to keep the page updated with news and photos as we progress from start to finish (if we get there!)
