It won’t be coming back…

Individual members of the team have taken on separate responsibilities for the trip. Paul is now CC of all things mechanical. If it moves, has a propensity to break or seize up, then it’s down to him. That includes the replacing of cam-belts – and the repair of punctures – the fitting of light bulbs and re-fixing those loose bits of trim.    Oil pumps, fuel pumps, foot pumps and plug-gaps. Wheel bearings and track rods. In layman’s terms, all the oily bits. If we had it, his responsibilities would also include the maintenance of the air-conditioning system.

Another heavy responsibility is that of CC all things IT, Planning, Routing, and Logistics. Communications – and Spreadsheets.  Finance, and Sponsorship.

It includes anything [and everything] that doesn’t involve any form of pushing, pulling or getting wet feet. Guess that’s me.

 Finally, there’s Ade. The Wirral Contingent; the standard-bearer for all our friends north of Watford Gap.  He’s an avid born-again biker – and a biker who’s already got extensive experience in the administration of First Aid. He’s the obvious ‘team choice’ to be the one to go on a more intensive two-day course on ‘Adventure Survival’ and ‘How to fix broken bones with a toothpick and a piece of string….’           The countdown continues!
