WE now have a major new supporter in the form of Hunters Estate Agents - Yeadon branch. David Metcalfe (MD Yeadon branch) in addition to making a substantial personal donation to the Teenage Cancer Trust, is happy to donate £50 from each house completion that goes through his branch for the forseeable future. Absolutely tremendous. Furthermore we may be welcoming the entire Hunters Group into our fund-raising campaign soon. This would be fanatstic, I will keep you all informed as things progress.

A much better birthday than his 21st when he was in the midst of fighting a very aggresive cancer, Well done Tom and not long to go now untill the Rally itself. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM from Dad, Mum, your sisters and all our family and friends. 

Alison and the girls along with Jo Kuunal and Charles Frost have completed their parachute jumps from 10.000 feet, without making a big mess on the ground.

Rally tyres have arrived for the mongolia car. Many thanks to Peter MacDonald and Dave Whitsun at the Caldbeck Garage in Cumbria. We now can get started on putting all the new bits on the car that Champion/Ferodo and the Caldbeck Garage have given us.

Getting serious now, starting to think about how to get stuff and two big blokes into a very small car

 

 

 

 

 

Hunters Estate Agents join our supporters!!

 

Girls and their certificates from para' jump at Bridlington.

 

Tom and his medal and a very proud Mum.

 

Our box of free car bits from Ferodo / Champion has arrived. Discs, pads, shoes, filters, belts, plugs, gasket sets and loads of stickers for the car, a fleece, two caps and two scarves. Top stuff!!http://mongolrally12.theadventurists.com/masons2mongolia2 
 

 

WE'RE BACK. Due to a bit of a medical mishap we had to pull out of the 2011 rally in January of this year. But not until we had raised over £8000 for our three charities.

Anyway it's back to square one now, this time raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. We've already started this years 'ALL TOOLED UP-AT PLAY 2012 calendar for launch at our local pub the Blacksmiths Arms on November 18th.

 

My girls are driving around in a SUZUKI SWIFT that's full of holes from the mods' I made to it, but we cannot use this car for this years rally as it will have gone over the age limit - BUMMER.

So we are now the proud owners of a Diahatsu Cuore. April 2003 reg 51k miles, full MOT all for the bargain price of £750.

Suspension testing at Pheasant, Keswick 

Could be a bit tight for one at 6'5" and the other at 6'7".
