Pavestone Rally 2017
Pavestone Dover to Monte Carlo Rally 2017. Thank you all so very much for supporting us, sponsoring us and sendign us on our way with luck and your best wishes. As a team we managed to raise over £4,800 excl. gift aid through our branches in Kingsbirdge, Ivybrigde and Plymouth for The Rainy Day Trust and The Teenage Cancer Trust.
We drove through a 7km tunne in Austria, realised the Swiss have 4G Internet access and radio reception in their tunnels, we stood at dawn in the cold mountain air in Liechenstein, and saw the vibrancy of Luxembourg City. We drove as a team, at times in tired silence, other times sining at the tops of our voices, in fancy dress, always keeping a sense of homour and perspective. We laughed at conversations and situations, when the taxi diver in Luxembourg asked Sylvain where in England he learnt French? - "Eh, I'm from Bordeaux", Keith "lead foot" Olver reversing into the same barrier twice, Nicky taking poor old Evie to 92mph (speed record), and me taking the racing line on any road I drove, deciding to run 400 meters after sitting in a car for 10 hours, dumping the bicycles in Verona and driving into Casino Square in Monaco, wine tasting at the Chateau and spending the day at a medieval walled village. But for us the hospitality from a French family, who welcomed us into their home and offered us sanctury for the night, allowed us to relax, fed and watered us then sent us safely on our way the next morning is the thing that will stay with us. So to the family Bordas for looking after us and showing us some French culture, merci!
