THREE good friends are en route to Belgium to take part in the Monte Carlo or Bust rally.

Adrian Whitehead, Nick Goodall and Graham Bridges are taking on the challenge for a second year running.

The rally sees participants travel in a car costing no more than £300 from Belgium to Monte Carlo in three days.

Organisers have advised participants in the race to put less effort into their engines and more effort into dressing themselves and the car.

The trio, named The Moosehunters, has spruced up a Jaguar S type. The team has decorated her with Thunderbirds nostalgia and spray painted the car pink in recognition of the much-loved Thunderbirds character Lady Penelope. Adrian said spectators can expect a different fancy dress theme for each day.

The Moosehunters will travel across six countries to raise funds for the charity Well Child which supports seriously ill children and their families across the UK.

Last year, the Moosehunters raised thousands for Cancer Research and are hoping to raise a substantial amount for Well Child. Adrian said: “We will be combining the fundraising with a charity bike ride taking place later this year.”

The team will start in Namur tomorrow (3rd June) and travel to Freiburg, this Saturday will see them travelling from Freiburg to Lake Como and finally on Sunday the team will travel from Lake Como to Monte Carlo.
