This is true Peteism at its finest!

The Plymouth / Dakar Challenge is one of the greatest challenges on earth.

The Challenge is to simply drive the route from Plymouth to Dakar with the principle aim of helping some Charitable causes in Senegal and The Gambia... oh... and the car can't cost more than £100 and it has to be left-hand-drive.

Team Sanddodgers are one of the teams attempting this grueling 3 week drivathon from Plymouth in the UK to Gambia in Africa.

Why mention this? Well, I'm extreamely proud to say that one of our collective is attempting this challenge & in the spirit of support I'm sponsoring the vehicle in question:



Meet Pete Laurie :

Pete grew up in the flatlands of Norfolk. Slightly distant in his support of Norwich City, Pete was more into driving tractors, rearing cows and hanging onto a kite in gale force winds. Pete excelled in his academic studies to find himself firmly placed at Brunel University studying for a Masters Degree in their Special Engineering Program. Pete’s studies soon took second best when he discovered Ultimate Frisbee, still second priority in his life only to his wife, Jenny. Being a Pillar of spiritual strength, Pete was soon made president of the Christian Union and served for a year from 2000-2001 bringing in many a bureaucratic policy. After graduating with a 1st , Pete landed a job with Metronet where he has been working ever since as an electrical engineer, keeping the heart of our capitals transport system just about coping. Pete will bring a mixture of engineering expertise, electrical knowledge and general interpersonal skills to the team. His diplomacy is known throughout the land.
