You may have heard of the Paris – Dakar car rally, well,
here's a slightly different take on the idea of driving a car
across deserts and getting lost, but for those with less cash.
The aim is to drive the route from Plymouth in the south west of
the UK to Banjul in The Gambia (on a limited budget) with the
principle aim of helping some charitable causes in Senegal and
The Gambia. The rules include competing in a car that costs less
than £100, not spending any more than £15 on getting the car
ready and having no assistance whatsoever, once under way. If
this sounds like your cup of tea, take a look at: http://www.plymouth-dakar.co
