Hi guys and girls welcome to our first post for 2012 London to Australia trip, yup its a big one. Over the next 26 weeks or so we'll be driving half way round the world in our truck Calypso. There's going to be brave 21 expedition members getting stuck in accompanied by two lucky crew.
By now I'm sure you'll all be in a few situations a) fully packed and wondering what you'll be eating in Prague or b) running around like a madman trying to get everything done or c) relaxed that you're just going to throw a few things together in a bag before meeting up down at Victoria on Sunday morning.
Whichever stage you are at no need to worry so long as you arrive with a passport, some money and an open mind you'll be in for one hell of an adventure.
Things are end are all sorted you'll be glad to hear the truck is ready to roll, everything is on board from a unicycle to the kitchen sink, we're not kidding. Tesco has been ransacked and we are just waiting for the off.
We'll start with some introductions:
Your crew Helen and Rogan whose task it is to get us all from A to B and everywhere in between.
Your steed, aka Calypso in the last few days and assorted:
Ok then so two days before we head ever eastwards on our venture of exploring far flung corners of the earth that most people would struggle to pin on a map. Soon you'll be able to lazily drop into conversation last time you were sipping a glass of tea in Azerbaijan or an evening spent in the FM bar in Tashkent.
We'll try and keep this blog updated as much as possible whilst on the road to give folks back home an idea of what trouble we're getting ourselves into, there may be delays at time with appropriate excuse to back them up at time of print!
That's enough from us for now, until we all meet up on Sunday and get this show on the road!
