Fugitive?

Safely parked in a nice underground car park we have made it to Toulouse city centre and are putting on our glad rags for a night on the town. Not that we're here to enjoy ourselves too much!

Thanks to everyone who has donated to our adventure and helped us to raise close to £3,000 for MapAction. This is why we are here and it is great that so many of you have got behind us and them.

A couple of bits of disturing news. firstly the green goddess has developed a nasty groan at the back end. It sounds suspension related, but with just 250 miles to the 'great car park in the sky' we have decided to turn up the stereo rather than investigate.

The second item is possibly more threatening. We've been told by the organisers that they have been warned by a Spanish TV company that the police are looking to stop every banger on the border and fine us for being part of an illegal rally. The fine is rumoured to be €400. Tomorrow could be very interesting!
