MWM-Zvolen-Slovakia-June-28-29-30th

[Kent126]

Well it's all sorted. Ferry crossing, hotel and flights back booked. Pooch has his doggy holiday booked too, so its all go for MWM 2013! Can't wait to be a part of it. Shame I can't take either of my cars but maybe next year!

Will be a great week in Slovakia. I also intend on sampling a lot of local beer and night spots!

Hi Piet,

Yes, we can adjust our route to meet up for coffee/lunch.  It's 88 miles or so to Nijmegen from the Hook, so would be a good break time

Can you send me your email or phone number and I'll be in touch when we arrive off the ferry?  Also, do 'like' the facebook page so you can see our progress as we get nearer...! http://www.facebook.com/126toSlovakia

See you on Monday 24th June!!  (17 days away...!)

Tom, whoo hoo!!  Great news!!  See you there

Got in to the local rag  Also, being interviewed by a local Polish radio station tomorrow... Exciting stuff indeed!  Thanks again Rusty for inspiring me to raise money for charity, we're nearly at £500 now!!

 Very nice. I really hope it goes well and you guys make it.
 Hopefully with all this publicity you`ll raise even more money for the charity
 
 We were very tempted up until the last minute to join your convoy, but we`ll be on a tighter schedule. We are leaving with a van and trailer early hours of Sunday morning from Dover and hoping to be in Slovakia Monday afternoon. Fingers crossed.

 Rusty there is even an article for you underneath

Lina can you check out how much those TV amplifiers are in Slovakia, I may need one for each ear 
Congrats on breaking the £500 barrier on your justgiving charity page , some great comments on there 
I was wondering if I could give Oscar some language training before you set off ??
Apparently repeating "Are we there yet?" over & over again helps to drown out the engine noise

Update to the route:





Hopeful, I know, but lunch in Prague for Weds the 26th sounds nice...

Rusty - some think the backup van is for parts or even the car... IT'S FOR THE KID!!    lol

By the way, MASSIVE thanks to Club126uk for all the donations to my justGiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/Carolina-Bailey as I'm now up to £611.26!!!

I'm so touched that my Mum's story, my story and my boy's story have reached so many, and a good sized chunk of those that have donated have been from here.

Thank you all, so very much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In the papers AGAIN! It's the same set of papers, but this is the bigger Essex County Standard one (the text is the same I think):



AND, we've just flown past £700 on the justGiving page!!  Awesome!  So glad something good's coming out of this trip.

 

[Kent126]

Think you'll find its just passed the £900 mark!

This only happens in the heat of the moment... Trying to make a small video of Lina crossing the dutch-german border, turned out I pushed the wrong button on the camera..  .. (make the right noises yourselves and you get the picture..  )

Hey all, doing ok here! Great to meet you Piet, thanks so much for taking care of us so well!  Not sure if I posted it before but were doing a blog here: www.blog.travelpod.com/members/carolina.bailey which were trying to update regularly!

Hey all, just checking in from Czech Republic! We're about to leave to cross the border into Poland & don't have as many miles planned today - merely 150! Going to be treated well by our polish 126 counterparts with a meal, a classic car meeting & a personal tour of Krakow via 126! Convoying down to Slovakia tomorrow morning.
Catch up when I can!! Xxx
