Just a little longer now..

Lots of good things to do before I focus on my trip.  Can't believe its nearly time and am excited and a little nervous about the challenge.  Am also humbled by all our sponsors and supporters, thank you very much.  Finally, still have time to get some raffle tickets and we have a good few prizes to be won.

Well back to work.  Namaste!

45 days to go

Today marks the start of the countdown to departure - 45 days to go.  All the car stickers have now been sold to generous local sponsors which means that the Ambi (short for Hindustani Ambassador) is going to look like a serious rally car full of Bury St Edmunds names 1000's of miles away on Indian roads.  I look forward to being able to photograph the car and send you some great pictures - hopefully of the car and sponsorship intact!
