****AROUND THE WORLD BY TRIKE****
James Wood and I entered this year's Mongol Rally, and are raising money for The Portaferry Lifeboat.
On completion of the rally, we continued to the East, through Russia to Vladivostok, where we got the trike shipped to Vancouver. Our route is down the coast of the USA, to California, Texas, Florida and finally South Carolina, where we will be shipping the trike back home again.
On our journey we have met all sorts of friendly and interesting people. We're far from finished yet, so I expect we'll encounter even more public interest!
At least in this country we can understand the questions people are asking us. (Normally the same qusetions we were asked by police in various countries - "What is it?" "Is it legal?" "Where have you come from/going to?" etc etc
Our vehicle of choice for this terraineous circumnavigation is a Peugeot 306TD engined trike, built to our specifications by Diamond Trikes in N.Ireland.
As we are footing the bill for the trip ourselves, every penny donated will go straight to the RNLI. (or the rally's charity CoolEarth if you choose that option)
So, if you have family who work, or even spend leisure time on the sea, remember that the RNLI is an independent charity, funded by voluntary donations. They could not save lives at sea without your support.
You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
So please dig deep and donate now.
