Great news! Not only are we in the Backup Spring newsletter...
But...
We have been invited to do the warm up lap at Kart Fest!!
Preparation for the Mongol Rally continues in the Nomadic Numpties camp, as the launch date approaches. Visa applications are well underway and it’s taken considerable time to piece together the various requirements for the bureaucrats to chew over… this photo shows the initial applications for Russia & Mongolia.
The third (elusive) member of the Nomadic Numpties has been selected…meet “Dude”, the car buddy who is full of hot air. Here he is trying his hand at driving Poppy the Perodua! Fortunately, he has already applied for his visas, but we are concerned about him being vaccinated and feel he may let himself down, if he needs injections!
Don’t forget we are funding all the costs for the rally - all your donations go straight to the amazing BackUpTech.

Thank you to our newest supporters: Michael Cole, Christopher Brain, Blackout Ltd., Sally Griffiths, David Coster!
The first test post is here across many platforms.
Firstly, a massive shout out to Ewan McRobb, Tracy Jaques, Briony Margetts & Max
Eggert Hobbs (Siamax Power)! Huge thanks for getting the ball rolling with the initial
donations. Everyone still considering donating to our worthy cause, don’t be
intimidated by these hugely generous donations – every fiver counts!
Every single contributor will get their name on Poppy the car & every donation over
£150 will be able to send us a digital logo to stick to our vehicle & make our steed
look more ‘rally’ like!
We have set our initial target at £1000 but would of course love to exceed this. We
are raising the £500 Cool Earth sponsorship separately, so that the absolute
maximum possible can go to our beloved BackUp Tech charity. Also, just to let you
know we are covering the costs of actually taking part entirely by ourselves - that’s
why I worked through Christmas folks!
Currently we are working on visa applications & route planning. Also, the seemingly
impossible task of making Poppy look something like this?! It’s looking like the only
option is to painstakingly cut mirror vinyl into squares & apply individually. Any
volunteers? Please, please if you know any car wrapping experts can you put us in
touch?
