Hi Andy

Best of luck with the run  :wink: Hope you do well cos its a bloody long way  :D

Are the 't' shirts available in black? If so put me down for an XL.

Also I think you need to change Vehicle details, Bronco Roughriders?? Not any more  :wink: thet going on mine  :D

Have you tried asking mods to put a 'sticky' in the bar? might generate a bit more interest?

Regards

Just spoken to them as they were getting on the ferry at Mallaig, going to Armadale on Skye, and I don't think they'll be coming to Harris and Lewis due to the ferry costs but I've sent them a text with Duncan Brown's number.
Also said about driving the beach and sand dunes when they get to Durness, near Cape Wrath.  :wink:
