Two world wars and one world cup

Dumball - Day one - Must be Munich? Er actually No!

Well here we are at the end of day one. It didn't start too well as we learnt that Germany had decided not to let us cross their borders. As we were supposed to be staying in Munich tonight that seemed to be a problem. The route was re-planned to avoid Germany and we headed south towards Luxembourg. We started out as nicely organised 'Squadrons' of six cars but very quickly got split into 2 groups of 3 cars when half of the squadron left the motorway and half didn't. After about 4 hundred miles we arrived at Mulhouse in France. The hotel is really great seeing as they only had a few hours notice of our arrival. They opened their restaurant to us and really made us feel welcome so if you're ever looking for a hotel in Illzach, Mulhouse look up the Kyriad, we can definitely recommend it.

During the day there were a number of casualties. The Coffin dodgers hearse shuffled off it's mortal coil and was abandoned in a lay-by somewhere. The Mystery machine was first to get a puncture after only a couple of miles from the start and the Muppets car, which was painted with emulsion paint, unfortunately, got wet! (See below). Apart from that it looks like everybody made it. The next stage to Zagreb should be really difficult from here and I don't think anybody is really looking forward to it. Have a look in your atlas to see what I mean.

Bye for now and remember to tell your friends about the site. More tomorrow.

Mulhouse to Zagreb - its only 700 Kilometres ! That's nothing for the Shaguar. good to hear you made it through the first stint unscaythed. Best of luck for the rest of it.

How thirsty is the Shaguar ? Bet you wished you did this last year, but on the bright side the Petrolis probably cheaper in Slovenia.

Keep on Dumballing...

About

In January 2006, Charlotte Adams was diagnosed with a rare form of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Thanks to the work carried out by Leukaemia Research (and the care of the Doctors, Nurses and Anthony Nolan trust), Charlotte survived a bone marrow transplant and is slowly getting back to full strength.

Charlotte�s dad Paul, along with friends 'Uncle' Rob and Graham are now prepared to heap ridicule upon themselves to raise money for this fantastic charity. They are taking part in the Dumball 2008 as �Austin Rovers � International men of Mystery� and will be dressed as Austin Powers, Dr Evil and Number 2 (we�ll leave it to your imagination to work out who is who!).
