Construction disruption came about after an Electrician and a Builder got the crazy idea of trying something different, out of the norm, and in doing so we can raise money for some Awesome charities.
Our Van, a Crappy 1.0L Dihatsu Hijet. We will try and drive it from LLandysul, Wales to London and then if all's well carry on to Mongolia a short distance of about 9,000 miles
So have a heart and sponsor us!
Even if this only gives you a laugh, any and all money raised will be much appreciated by some very needy charities
