Thank you all fellow thinkers and doers who attended the farewell ceremony this Saturday at the House of Love.

It was an incredible international get-together filled with emotions, encouraging words and inspirational thoughts. And there was beer too.

The day that followed brought the idea of Tuesday departure from isolation as the significant presence of after-party laziness and the boycott of cleaning and packing prevailed throughout Sunday.

So we’re leaving this Tuesday - hurray!

We love you, and you, and you too.

So we made our way to Wales to do some more serious testing.

Under a nice Oak tree, some say at least 1K years old, we spent the first night surrounded by sheep.  A little bit colder than what we expect, but that will do. We did a little bit off road and the car took it without even hesitating.

After a couple of days no major issues to report, and now the landy is back with the experts to finish our wish list…

“To be honest”, we did run out of gas…maybe…but that’s a different story ¬¬

Getting muddy with Ed Cobley, 6 time British off-road champion.

During training with the Protrax guys, we started to realize that we didn’t know anything about driving off-road. Peter’s favourite was stalling in the middle of ascents, Simon enjoyed sliding the clutch to oblivion and Pere thought the engine ought to be shut down at regular intervals for a little siesta, particularly just before trying to scale hills. After the day was done though, we knew better. Sort of.

The Land Rover came home and eventually started covering our driveway with diesel and other mysterious fluids.

Champagne was flowing and poses were struck.

After months of waiting, D day was upon us.

Foley Specialist Vehicles was the overland modification experts that we hired to buy and kit out the Land Rover for our long journey.

Our unstoppable driving machine should be finished soon. After thorough check we’ve noticed only minor things were still missing: doors, seats, bonnet, fuel tank, water tank and similar.

We were very happy to see that the engine was there as well.

Three guys and one car. Thousands of miles, a tin whistle, a harmonica and a clarinet. Not just a long trip, certainly also not the longest, but rest assured that it will be longer than long way down from Cambridge to the southernmost peak of the African continent. Priceless.
