Come on chaps - Help for Heroes - nearly there



Edit: They are almost there. Read about their valiant efforts, running repairs (to their's and another team's cars). It's good fun but they are also making an effort - and it's all for injured servicemen.

These tatty tonners are driving a sub-£100 banger to Timbuktu. (It should have been two sqn mates but Service commitments etc..) Everything (including the car) they have paid for themselves or scrounged. At the end the car gets auctioned off for the local Round Table charity to help provide fresh water, all other donations are for Help for Heroes.

Donation link: Justgiving - The Boneyard Boys' Fundraising Page

Follow their progress at: The Plymouth-Dakar Challenge - Official Web Site
(Select Group 6, then The Boneyard Boys, then SMS Field Reports)

Sub-£100 banger?

That's no way to talk about a Hawk!

Should be an excellent trip, best of British.
