This time four years ago, Colin arrived home from his Driving Home expedition - 22,000 kms, 15 countries across Europe and Africa. And now the first steps have been accomplished and the start of the next Adventure begins on Monday 14th June 2010. Another overland mission, this time to drive Chrissy home.
England, Europe, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bulagaria, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, final destination - McLaren Vale South Australia. A collection of countries, each one of which holding its own distinct allure, as well as its own challenges.
Miranda, the Sweat-Box, has been trotted out like the grand old dame that she is; de-rusted, overhauled, given a brand new hair-do in the form of a substantial roof-rack and roof box, had her insides removed and replaced with an overhead hoist and every necessity for a journey of such magnitude and is almost ready to hit the road.
Cols and Chrissy have spent months in the preparation - maps, visas, vaccinations, route prepation, time lines. I, as a mere mother, cannot help being somewhat nervous about the magnitude of the journey, but the nerves are outweighed by my immense admiration for both of them. I feel that their commitment to getting this epic adventure underway is the lynchpin to the success, enjoyment and safety of this amazing quest, and my love and sincere good wishes go with them.Val
