Weel it's time the truth came out. Team Mud Too has been retired due to a lack of chassis! Big red as she was affectionately known was going to cost too much to keep on the road so she was sold off for parts. You may have seen my new toy on the forums though. A '94 300 Tdi with Kumho KL71s, rock sliders, winch and bumper, Cobra Trakker seats, rear wheel carrier, snorkel, Rebel steering guard and front and rear diff guards.

Well that's the event over! We got lost a few times, muddy, argued, but had a great event. We walked away as top fundraisers this year which we are delighted about and we would like to thank everyone who has supported us. Keep an eye out for a few pictures in the next few days.

Yes getting excited here!

Well happy with getting over the £7000 mark, with the gift aid donations its actually over £8000. Also chuffed to be raising awareness of Macmillan and the work they do. Quite poignant we went over £7k today, one of the several reasons that led to me wanting to enter the Mac was a little girl who had cancer in my wifes class, the Macmillan nurses came into the school to talk about cancer. Unfortunately she passed away last week and Kathy was at the funeral today.

Had a wee accident with the Landy last week, was putting boxes with the new rocksliders on the roof, jumped down and caught my wedding ring on the roofrack. OUCH! One badly cut and swollen finger. Recovering now though still quite sore, was lucky though, could have been much worse!

So haven't managed to fit the rocksliders yet, will be a wee job for Chris when he comes over!

Not long to go now. I fly over to Graeme this Wednesday to do the final preparations to the 110, before travelling down to the start of the Mac. I'll be travelling in the knowledge that we have raised well over £7,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. We are delighted wih what we have achieved so far and look forward to seeing our final fundraising total.
