There are many people we wish to thank for making this trip happen for us, and without whom it would either not have happened or would not be the success it is.
Our Parents - for having us and bringing us up to be mad enough to do it and for being understanding and supportive.
Our Brothers and Sisters - for tolerating us when we were growing up.
Special thanks to Paul for his very useful contacts and willingness to help with media coverage.
Our Families - for their support, particularly with our fund raising effort.
Our Friends - for giving us moral support and sponsorship, for agreeing to come and visit us, and for those of us who allowed themselves to be volunteered to get more involved. In particular : Rick Blades (for looking after the flat), ND (for building and updating this web site), Alfonso Retana Boente (for looking after us in Mexico), Dave Hedges (for good ideas for the DV diary and contacts), Ann Wooster (for help on the DV diary), Amr and Hala Khalil (for helping with media coverage and supporting our fund raising initiative), Paul Fitz & Claire Parker (coming to visit), Disco Bob (coming to visit), Nigel McElhinney (coming to visit)…and anyone else who has helped in any way.
Our companies -for being understanding and for offering places on our return.
JVC - for a very kind donation of a JVC DV3 Digital Video Camera to help us bring back the video diary, so that we can share our experience and provide some amusement.
ARKSAL Antique Builders Suppliers (tel: 44-378 208279) for general help and support for the trip
The Express and UTV for their features on our trip
Jerry at Psycho Cycles - for great advice and for offering to send us stuff while we're out there. Highly recommended you pay Gerry a visit if you are in the Battersea/Clapham area. He knows his stuff, and best of all doesn't try to sell you unnecessary gear!
Our tenants - for agreeing to water our plants!
