Pompeii or Bust Challenge

Post by Berny »

Hi Guys I am taking part in this event in support of the East Anglian Air Ambulance we are driving from St Austell to Pompeii in a car costing less than £500.00, we have bought a damaged Peugeot that cost us ££297.20 and a few parts off ebay , we have a few jobs to do to complete repairs and then service and prepare for the trip starting on the 28th September. Anyone who would like to donate to East Anglian Air Ambulance can visit my just giving page at Justgiving.com/fundrasing/bernytester check out the Pompeii or Bust website! I will try and update out progress. Regards Berny.

Great stuff Berny!

I know your efforts are much appreciated by East Anglian Air Ambulance.

Hopefully catch you on base when you pop in prior to setting off.

Thanks Thomas and Thanks Rosh. The just giving page only lists the number of people giving on line I have had other donations off line that have pushed up the total. Thanks Berny.

Thanks Phil It's something I had often thought of doing and when I saw this one I thought it would be a chance to practise
my Italian and enjoy the trip and help support East Anglia Air Ambulance at the same time.

Hi Berny, I just got some photos through.... see below.

It was great seeing you, Tim, and family at the Cambridge Air Ambulance base. I hope it spurs the car on to make it all the way to Pompeii! Good luck with the fundraising, I know it's very much appreciated by the charity. We'll be tracking you.

We made it to Pompeii after a long trip covering Le Mans, Paris,Lake Geneva, over the St Bernard’s pass .Go Karting the next morning and then on to Florence before driving up Mt Vesuvius and on to Pompeii to finish on the 3rd. On the 4th we had a boat trip along the Almalfi Coast, Saturday and Sunday back to near Calis then home on Monday, thanks to all who donated will try and put up
some photos. Regards Berny.
