Afternoon chaps,

Thought this might appeal to your more sadistic sides: 3 of us from TR are recreating the original Beer Run, Smokey and the Bandit but with a modern twist: we are travelling London-Stelvio-London within 27 hours for a case of fresh Stelvio Beer and for charity!

Thinking you might like this bonkers idea, so please post and hopefully donate here! Cheers thumbup


PS does anyone want to be the 'decoy' car?

Heard about your crazy exploits... good luck with it, all for good cause too .. !!!


(I would volunteer for decoy car as I do have the right bodied car in the right year even, but alas no squawking chicken on the bonnet so no can do)

haven't had enough time to do a proper post on PH for ages - the small matter of packing our things has taken over!

I'd like to thank everyone for their support for the run, their donations (money and / or time in coming out to greet us on our return or send offthumbup) and to James and Guy for being co drivers.

Thanks to all at PH and friends and family elsewhere, over 50% of the justgiving target was reached by the evening of the run start on Friday and busting the target soon followed by Sunday morning (thanks to razbox for donating again to make us meet our target!). I have tried to thank anyone who's donated as we've gone along. Apologies if I've missed anyone smile

I received an email from Amy at foreverangels who is extremely grateful for all the donations and the effort that went into the run.

The amount of encouragement from all was fantastic and the messages on facebook and by text whilst we were doing the run were fantastic - thanks people!

My final and biggest thanks go to TEAM VRS (James and Anna) for the amount of effort they put in! The Stelvio Beer Run was nothing but an idea ( James, a great one thumbup) 10 days before the run. We had t-shirts, leaflets, banners and GO VRS liveried up within 4 days, all because of them. Without their generosity, this run would not have been possible.

If you meant to donate but forgot to, there's still time. Please go to www.justgiving.com/27hours

Thanks for reading
