Progress Blog - November 2007

 

21 Nov 2007

Seems we have the Welsh National Rugby Team here in Tenby - training for Saturday's game [!!] against the World Champions.  Jane [wifey] has bought a rugby ball - met with the team and got them to sign the ball so we can raffle off sometime in the Spring - any offers?

 

16 Nov 2007

Blimey - a week since the website was launched and already averaging 50 visitors a day and over 3600 hits in just 4 days!  The donation that really brought a lump to the throat was via PayPal together with an emailed message................

"£10  on its way. Sorry it's not lots but unemployed at the moment" Very humbling - thank you Wendy :-)

And the first of the electronic pledges comes through - £20.00 - thanks - you know who you are and that's the first time you've ever come first mate!!

Phone call from the EnduroAfrica chaps

"Errr.... David.... when we asked about whether you had off-roading experience"

"What exactly does "Not intentionally" mean?"

So where the hell do you start?

 

Well it all started when this reprobate from next door wobbled round one morning for a coffee with a silly grin on his face.

"Oi Slack Jowels...."

"You seen this?  EnduroAfrica advert on the back page of Two Wheels Only magazine"

Yet another of these lets raise money for Mugabe charity pleas

"No...No... this is different.....  we buy a motorbike each.... ride the beast off road in South Africa for 9 days over 2000kms...then donate the bike to the UNICEF health workers who will use it in Zimbabwe"

"We could be Tenby's answer to Ewen McGregor and Charley Boorman"

It's all gone daft ever since!!
