Rob and Nick Sketchley Start Their Rally Across Europe Tomorrow
 |
Please Sponsor Rob and Nick as they rally across Europe raising money for Well Child. |
This Thursday the 2nd of May 2013 local brothers Rob and Nick Sketchley are taking part in the Scumrun a famous 4 day charity rally across Europe seen on Sky TV and now in its seventh year!
The brothers know roughly how many miles they will have to travel, but do not know where the finish line is. They will be given directions each morning with a set of check points where they have to achieve certain objectives. The twist on the event is that competitors are not allowed to spend more than £500 purchasing their car, in which they have to cover over 3000 miles in 4 days. There are more than 100 cars taking part and as you will probably have guessed not all of them make it back!
The link to the official Website of the Scumrun is here: www.scumrun.com
If you'd like to sponsor Nick online click here: www.justgiving.com/Nick-Sketchley
The original car they bought was a P Reg Subaru Impreza Turbo 2000. The engine was a complete mess when they bought the car and they had no choice but to purchase a nice shiny reconditioned engine.
But unfortunately this week and after hours and hours of working on the Impreza disaster struck and it became apparent it would not make the journey.
At the eleventh hour a Saab 900 Turbo convertible was bought, Sign written and made ready to go all on the day they are due to leave !
