Festival of Slow

[Dudd]

As most of you know I'm off on the Mongol Rally and next Saturday is the launch from Goodwood.

It will be a cracking day out with loads to see and do; http://festivalofslow.theadventurists.com/index.ph...

If any can make it then great and it won't cost a penny!

On a side note, if anyone has any spare tools or camping stoves they do not need I would happily take them off you as so far I have none!

Also if anyone wants to donate to Mercy corps charity and boost up my total please do so here; http://www.justgiving.com/infinitepossibilitydrive...

Or to find out what I'm doing have a look here; http://www.infinitepossibilitydrive.co.uk/

If anyone has any questions please mail me on nick_dodd (at) hotmail.co.uk

Thanks

Nick
