  Ice Cold in Alex - the remake
28th December 2004 to 21st January 2005
 
     
 

Our objective
To drive a 39 year old ex Army Land Rover Ambulance from Cumbria to the Gambia. On arrival donate her to a village clinic near Kudang.

Once we realised what was going to be involved we had to work hard to gain the required sponsorship and even harder to get her ready. The support we received was fantastic, with many people delivering above and beyond the call of duty.

We decided on our route and planned to leave on the 28th December 04. The days before departure got fewer and fewer, whilst what needed to be completed seemed to stay the same. The clock was ticking!
