Finale

I’ve been travelling in my MG, Bridget the Midget, for nearly twenty years, through sixty-four different countries. Following some of the more difficult trips, the Abingdon to Cape Town trip for example, a certain amount of restoration work to Bridget was necessary. Unfortunately the same cannot be done for me, so I have come to the decision that I shall do one more long trip, health permitting, before folding up our maps.

My plan is for a run of around 10,000 miles that will take us across Europe, through Turkey and up to my first destination, Georgia. I want to meet with another population that is prepared, at considerable risk, to reject the oppressive rule of the Putin regime. From Georgia we will drive around most of the Black Sea coast to re-visit Moldova and Ukraine. From Ukraine we will head north to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania including a visit to the Riga Motor Museum.

I am expecting this trip to take around three months in all. Bridget should then be heading to The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu for a two year visit, as long as building work there is complete.

Finally, this website was originally started just to record my ‘Round the World’ record making road trip in 2008/9. It continued covering our other trips because people wanted to follow our adentures, however the costs incurred for maintaining the site have always been borne be myself. The next years’ costs will become due within the next couple of months and so I intend to close the site down. Sorry, but this will be before the final trip.

I hope that everyone has enjoyed the adventures, almost as much as I have.
