Sponsors

Chris Watson and Sons, Vehicle Dismantlers for a quarterlight window, and the promise of further spare parts for the Polo.

Markerstudy Insurance - for insuring us in the UK, and all the way to the ferry to Morocco. Be sure to watch the viral adverts section of their website!

Woodchip Computers - for providing the domain name, hosting this website, and providing essential advice on how to set it up so that all the bits and pieces actually work.

Benjamins Opticians - for providing a month's supply of daily disposable contact lens for the trip. Benjamins do not have their own website, but can be reached at 24 Newmarket Street, Skipton - 01756 792933

Peter Watson (Skipton) Limited - for providing us with a free MOT test, and advice on repairing the car (after it failed) to pass the test.

Oakwell Classic Cars - for supplying us with a desperately needed tie-rod for the steering and a spare ignition coil for the Polo. The tie-rod for a left hand drive Polo is a difficult item to get hold of in the UK, but Nigel at Oakwell came to the rescue.

Stewart Maunders at FH Ellis in Settle for his advice and help in replacing the front suspension struts and springs. His spring compressor was invaluable.

The Gambia Experience for cheap flights back to the UK once we have reached Banjul.

Many thanks to Steve at Milestone Insurance Consultants for organising our insurance cover with Markerstudy.

Aire Valley Workshop, apart from doing a cracking service on my Golf, has kindly donated spare air and petrol filters, plus a full set of spark plugs. Aire Valley Workshop are not yet on the web, but soon will be. In the meantime, you can find then on the Snaygill Industrial Estate in Skipton, or call them on 01756 795444.

Steve and Amanda at Koken Tools are kindly providing a complete set of tools for us to take - just in case. Hopefully we will not need to use them, but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Lee at Eve Products has been fantastic creating stickers and decal for the car. A very interesting company in Skipton too, that I did not realise existed until recently - fabulous graphic display systems and products.

Many thanks to Richard at Airedale Chemicals - not only for the 25 litre containers for our petrol and water, but also for his very generous donation to Macmillan Cancer Support.
