The Team
Well frankly, right now "The Team" is a bit of disaster area ... goes a bit like that song: "there were 10 green bottles on the wall" and now there's just one left, Leonard.
Never mind, I'm too much "in it" to throw the towel - not my style anyhow. Got the car in a reasonble state and MOT'd, the funds together, Visas and have been stung against outlandish bugs. More importantly my basic motive: to plough something back into life, the less fortunate fellow beings on our globe. A way of saying thanks for the fantastic life I've had so far, the greatest wife and kids one could wish for, the wealth and health, the freedom of choice. Then of course I'm always in for an adventure, done a few of those, love driving, discovering and travel.
So, I'm counting on the odds, chaos theories, Murphy's law and luck (mine) that I will be driving alone for a while but sooner or later be in a position to offer the empty seat next to me to another team because they had a row, were unlucky with their vehicle, etc. If that fails before Moscow I may pick-up a (russian) hiker (or one speaking russian). Get to UB I will, come what may - watch me! It's a pilgrimage ...
