24hrs to go

What is the Macmillan 4x4 Challenge?

Its a three day event covering around 1000 miles for 4x4 vehicles. The start is near Ludlow in Shropshire and the finish is in Warringtion, Chesire - in between anything goes and we won't find out till we start each section. - more details www.mac4x4.co.uk

Before during and after the event each crew is raising money for Macmillans Cancer Support, with every penny raised going to the charity. you can donate by going to www.justgiving.com/mac4x4nissan . So far we've rasied in excess of £800 but we started late being a reserve entry. Event will have rasied in excess of £500,000 by the end of this year across the 7 runnings of the event.

Neil Howson and I (Simon Bentley) are competing in my Nissan Terrano II, complete with a few modifications. 2" suspension lift, larger tyres, extra lights inside and out etc.

Still a few jobs to do but we'll be setting off for our overnight digs near Ludlow about 6pm today, the event itself kicks off at midday Friday 6th March, but there pre event stuff to do before that.

Internal wirings done and all the nechanical jobs but still need to wire the new fuse box under the bonnet and connect the lights.

Then its just stow all the gear and get away.........

Will do my best to pop on here and keep it up dated as the event progresses, net access allowing.
