Paris At Last



Following much of the route Bourghese took almost 100 years ago from Reims we arrived at La Place de la Concorde ( La Automobile Club de France based in the square as well as the FIA) mid morning.
45 days ago we left Peking and everywhere the locals have been helpful and generous.
In Mongolia the hospitality was unbelievable.
My Chummy although worn out has performed extremely well.
The only outside help being a puncture repair and having the o.s.windscreen support welded up.
My thanks go to absolutely everyone who was involved with the car, gave advice, spares and help.
Thank you to all the sponsors, the trip could not have been done without them.
This has been a team effort so a big thank you to Annabel for all navigating, support and help.
Congratulations to K and C for making it and good luck to Jaap and Robert, Vince Leek and the saloons and all the Rally competitors.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to Unicef the charity we have been supporting.
The White Cliffs of Dover will room be in sight!

Watched your progress every day.
Brilliant run, and with sightseeing as the "sting in the tail".
...and you beat the Rally into Paris.
Can't think of a polite way of saying "well done"!
