A small update this week, to keep you in touch with the latest from the Gobi Ambulance camp. We’ll post more next week after the weekends shenanigans!
We have a new engine!! Photos of the transplant are in the gallery, it was a serious amount of work. We all worked until the small hours getting the ambulance finished. Final sign writing should be done this week courtesy of Show Card Print; all out sponsors logos are going to be slapped on every available bit of body we can find.
On Friday, we’re taking her on her first long trip as a group. All four of us will be packing up, hitting the M40 up to Telford, turning left and settling into a 4x4 track somewhere in deepest darkest Wales. Next week we’ll update you on how she go on off road!
Mat’s just done a deal with a company who are kindly going to reinforce and strengthen our leaf springs. We need this as the front suspension is held together by a very small single leaf spring. As and when we finalise the arrangement we’ll post more details about the company here.
With four weeks to go the tensions building. The focus has moved sideways from preparing the ambulance which is nearly done, onto camping gear and other practicalities.
We’ll be touring some of our sponsors in the coming weeks for photo opportunities. Sut has also managed to secure a few more kind companies that will be sponsoring us.
Don’t forget to come down to Hyde Park on 19th July from 12:00 to see us off – the Gobi Bar will be open and serving some very special treats!!
