note
thinking of funky things to do on our rally trip
> not only photograph the places we go – but set up a webcam in the car/vehicle were driving – maybe between the front seats and snapshot every 5 minutes of the journey or something? not sure how that will work…
>we still have to come up with a team name in the near future so we can secure it!
Thundercrawl Pictures
Here is some images of the places we will be visiting – I stole them from the the organiser Paul from the forum – figure as long as I advertise the Rally they won’t mind too much!
~ Thundercrawl ~ !!
OMG so excited! – Jayson has gone and booked us in to do a Rally
across Europe – it’s so insane but I think it is going to be so exciting!
*big grin*

Basically we have to get a car/van/vehicle for £200 – get it taxed, MOT’d & insured – we then drive with 60 other cars across europe!
Starting on Friday 28th September at Boulogne-sur-Mer (France) – we drive for 3 days completing tasks and hopefully NOT having to fix cars
to end up in Venizia (Yes Venice in Italy for all you non-european ppls) on the sunday evening!
I’ve done a google map > * here * < of the approximate route and the places we are staying over!
Here is the official site as well with all the information about what we are doing – Crumball Rally
