So, the trip is getting closer and closer now! eek! this time in 4 days and the boys will be setting off with the car to catch the ferry at Newcastle. They are taking the car over for the rally and Megs & i are flying to meet them.
Excitment has really started setting in now!
Car is due for collection tonight i think. Malcolm & Ellis are going to be getting some valuable lessons in fixing some bits n pieces.
The car needed a couple of things done (not sure what but i will update once i know!)
Also needs to get tax'd & insured! eek!
We have NO working stereo tho! This is a bit of a disaster!!! Malcolm has sold a couple of old cars in the last few weeks so in hindsight we should have pinched one out of one of those vehicles! Never mind.
We maybe need to investigate some little speakers for ipods that will last a long time on batteries! mmmmmm..............................
Almost all set for it now. Ellis has all suitable snow gear since he is a snowboarder, but the rest of us did not have ANY appropriate attire for this type of thing!
We have managed to get some great ebay bargains on ski suits & boots. and stocked up on thermals, hats, fleeces etc etc etc.
Megs and Ellis are sorted with proper season 4 sleeping bags.
Malcolm and i still need to get sleeping bags and gloves. Been searching for gloves for days now and i do not want to pay £25 or £40 so i am being stubborn. Really need to get some tho!
I think i am nominated blogger for the trip. Which is fine because that means i am not nominated as car fixer or accommodation organiser OR in charge of budget! haha!
I will try my best to keep up to date daily but it all depends on internet cafes! We have a good camera, massive memory card and a USB card reader so hopefully can get pics up as we go along our trip.
Weather is still looking pretty chilly and snowy. We were getting very strange looks hanging out our ski wear to dry on the washing line in the garden at the weekend. Especially since we got wee sun burnt noses from the beautiful weather! haha! Oh well! Hopefully the nice weather will be here when we get back!
Anyways, if anyone wants to get in contact email us at northernlightsrally_1stwj@hotmail.co.uk and i will get back to you as soon as i can.
Once again I would like to thank everybody who has sponsored us and if anyone else would like to then please get in touch. Thank you
