So basically if your not able to spend thousands of pounds doing the Paris Dakar thing, then there is another option. It involves doing a similar sort of distance, in vehicles similar in only the most basic simplistic ways, four wheels and so on. On the Plymouth-Banjul Challange(PBC) there are a few more obviouschanges in the setup. You've got a budget of £100 for the car and another £15 to get it prepared to go the 3700 ish mile distance to the end in The Gambia. The whole thing is done more for the sheer hell of it and also in the name of charities chosen by the entrants and also at the final destination where the cars are auctioned off for local charities there.
So as soon as we get the car and a lot of sponsership sorted we are on our way to Africa to bribe officials do a bit of camping and have a few drinks with the locals and less locals and whilst driving very very carefully begin the experiments necessary to establish the best way to ski behind a banger on sand. If anyone knows a good health insurance company, answers
We have been accepted to risk almost certain drunkedness all of course in the name of charity. We are in exeter,were going to banjul in the gambia were on the plymouth banjul challenge, Yea Baby!!
This is the web site obviously, if you are able to see this without the aid of the internet then well done your definately a cut above, anyway asuming you are using the more popular internet viewing medium of a computer of some kind. This is for your amusement and bemusement from confusion to clarity. We (the naked pretzel) are about to embark on one of the crazyiest of things available to do with minimum investment. This will involve driving in on and around roads and sand and whatever else we find in front of us, greasing the palms of officials and some pretending to be officials a little bit of drinking and generally trying to do all kinds of things that our insurance will cover in the event of our likely damaging ourselves in the middle of the desert, good day to you sir, GOOD DAY!

About Us(we make disabled children walk)
Ok a bit of info for you then.We the collective known as the naked pretzel were two Orthotists working for the nhs in exeter.Now we are one orthotist and one sister of orthotist currently working in edinburgh airport selling supercar tickets.If you dont know what an orthotist is then look it up.If you dont know what an airport is then well.....nevermind anyway... im not gonna explain.
Anyway we fancied going on a bit of a random excursion possibly taking in some dessert scenery and some crazy antics all in the name of charity, and low and behold were going to the gambia in what would seem may well be a 1974 volkswagen beetle with washing machine controll buttons where a key should go.
Steve + Andy(steves moved to brisbane so my little sis is coming now picture to follow)
A chap with a beetle in shropshire generously donated it to the pretzell cause last year it did start now it dont but it tries real hard.
Costing nothing but 5 litres of cider.
It wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her,
Perhaps well die!
(or mabye just break something if were lucky)
Its alot better than the heap we expected,
Its a volkswahen 1303s beetle from 1974 with a pretty cool paint job.
We Like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
