On October the 20th, four cars will embark on a ferry to Santander - the first leg of a journey to Ghana via the Sahara and Timbuktu.I will be driving a 1940s Lea Francis - powered by a 1960s Jaguar engine. This belongs to Rollo Malcolm-Green, who will take over the wheel in Mali.
Apart from the sheer adventure of the trip, we're raising money for an educational charity called Sabre Trust. You can learn more about this (and make a contribution) on our Virgin Money Giving page at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/M-GSahara2010.
My last-minute packing and preparation is almost done - a good thing as I leave very shortly to join the LeaF(expertly prepared by Rollo) deal with any last-minute panic preparation, squeeze my luggage into the car, and tomorrow morning depart for Portsmouth. With some time available on the ferry (although alas no internet access likely) I hope to write more.
