Hint to other rallyists: the police in Krasnoyask will accept a handfull of Uncle Joe's Mint Balls as a bribe instead of the usual 100 roubles. You're welcome

Another great campsite in hay field this one 50 miles east of Krasnoyarsk. First encounter with Siberian Uber Mossie but so far they prove no match for us!

Aaah, so this is the little box where I type stuff in then is it.
Okeydokey here goes:
Name: David Keith Richardson.
Age: 40 and counting.
Skeleton reference no.5473219634214tyfwiuk1966.
Occupation: Car restorer and trimmer.
Place of residence: May 1966- August 1977.
Hobbies: Racing ancient Lotus cars, beating the crap out of my drumkit, preaching to the world of the wonderousness of Van der Graaf Generator, following Everton FC- the peoples' club of Merseyside.
I'm married to the long suffering Andrea who has given up trying to understand it all and we have instead engaged in unlicensed genetic experiments which have yielded 2 children namely Amber and Lewis.
All my family think I am ace and fully support everything I ever do, ever.
I'm Jay, the sensible-ish half of Team Scraz, unless you believe Dave The Baron's version. I live in Weymouth and teach kids with learning difficulties, but this doesn't preclude me from plenty of adolescent behaviour myself. If you think I look knackered in this photo its cos I'd just come back from a week in Cornwall with our year 11s, so I was! I have 3 kids of my own, Sam, Lucas and Oscar, all of whom are of the opinion that Daddy has seriously derailed this time! Dave named me The Exorcist for reasons that will become painfully clear on the rally. Check out our website www.teamscraz.co.uk for more details. Adieu, Jay.
