Thursday 29 April 2010 - It is with great sadness that John the landlord of The Swan has lost his battle with Cancer. John was a huge support for our fundraising and will be greatly missed.

Monday 5 April 2010 - Alas it wasn't to be... Simon and Alex didn't quite complete the full 82 miles of the Essex Way. The conditions were against us, walking the first four hours in the rain through soaked footpaths then staggering along muddy fields and paths for another 21 hours Simon's legs went at 60 miles. Alex somehow managed to carry on to 75.5 miles just 5.7 miles from the Harwich Lighthouse finish line before his knees finally gave out. A fantastic effort given the walking conditions perhaps we should wait untill summer then do it all again??????

Saturday 3 April 2010 - The Essex Way - The 82 mile walk along the footpath's of Essex started with an interview with Alex talking to Ian Wyatt at BBC Essex radio. Click here to listen again on the BBC web site you can forward wind to 0.21 to go straight to Alex's interview.

Sunday 13 September 2009 - NoMad Rush took part in the 10th Essex Air Ambulance Ride with over 5,000 other motorbikes. We raised over £40,000 for the charity. What a great event..

Sunday 6th September 2009 - Round The World on 5p launch. Just see how far you can go!

Saturday 5th September 2009 - At last we have had news about our beloved Mungo and the other cars. All the other cars sold making a fantastic £10,000 for the orphanage, the only one that didn't sell was our Mungo. This turned out to be a blessing as Elvira visited another orphanage to find it a worse state than the one we visited. This orphange has around 280 disabled kids with only 2 wheelchairs. Clemo is now organizing a container loaded with wheelchairs and mattresses to go out there. They now need a vehicle that can fit wheelchairs in to ferry the kids around. Yep, you guessed it Mungo has a new home. We can't think of a better way for him to spend his life. We hope the kids get as much pleasure from him as we did!

Friday 4 September 2009 - Keep checking the website for the next pub quiz date at The Swan.

Tuesday 9 June 2009 - This morning will see them fly out very early from Kyrgyzstan to Stansted. We're all looking forward to seeing them come back safe and well having achieved what they set out to do.

Out of the 29 cars that set out on the 2009 London to Tashkent rally only 18 made it to Bishkek. Its a great achievement that our guys made it, and the cars in their convoy managed to get there.

Well done Nomadrush, The Crumblies, Thunderpig4 and Snow Merchants.
