Hi Everyone,

 

First of all I would like to say thankyou to all that have voted for us.

 

We have just had a call this morning from the radio station confirming that Donna and I have made it to the final please see link:

I have to get as far away as possible in 24 hours with just £10, the one who gets the furthest away will win the wedding. My job is to work out the best route and work on my blagging skills, just wish I could take my Zed but £10.00 petrol in my Zed wont get me far lol.

 

Matt

Must be able to get a squEasyJet flight for £10 .....

yep but youll be waiting more than 24hrs for it to take off lol

so, once youve spent the £10 to get as far away as possible, how are you going to get back ? & how are they going to find out how far you have got ?

all the best!

 

buy one of those bus tickets £1 items and get to the other side of the country....

I have a rep from the radio station with me and im not allowed to fly :(

pay one of your mates the tenner - get them to drive you somewhere.... and pay them back when its all over ;) ;)

 

the rep doesnt have to know you are mates! :duffer:

Can't use your friends or family, I think thats why you have the radio rep with you at all times. Going to brainstorm some ideas tonight, I want to have at least 3 or 4 ideas by Thursay.

yeah but all you have to do is speak to someone you know..... say I'm going to be waiting on the side of such a road trying to hitch a ride.... stop, pick me up blah blah and off you go with rep in tow! :D

is it your now alowed to fly (as in a medical condition stops you), or the rules say your not alowed to fly?

Its the rules that state no flying

Some National Express coach tickets are pretty cheap.

mate. get onto virgin or someone like that, PR department. Im sure they would get you to a far away place.

I got to Italy in the army on just asking at teh airport with nothing on me. granted that was in teh late 80's but you can but try

good point - if you were to email a company explaining your situation - and you have £10 to get somewhere - Im sure they would do it for you as its good publicity for them too!!!!

The only problem with that is that I am not allowed to make pre arangements with anybody. What I was thinking is to speak to Virgin or Eurostar ect on the day.

get yourself to Dover or any port near you and cadge a lift off a Trucker or Coach going across but dont forget your passport

I got a feeling im starting from London, I think I should head towards Waterloo and blag a train somewhere.

Do you have to keep legal ?. I mean can you get a lift to a dock and get yourself and the rep onto a boat if you promise to shovel coal the entire trip to affrica :).

OR steal a boat :mac1:

LOL, got me thinking about the boat thing.

why not borrow a moped, you would get hundreds of miles on a tenner

 

(from someone on Banzaiclub)

Been thinking of routes all last night, wow this is going to be hard.

hitchike on the m25, nice big artic, with sciottish flags on lol

Going to drive my Zed to the start point, trying to get the Zed in the background of the photo shoot. Also my Zed passed its MOT yesterday, so far my week is looking up.

If I were you I'd call radio one and try to get on air to ask for help from anyone who can get you as far as you can, ferry companies, travel companies, lorry drivers, anyone who can help you. I put money on that hundreds would want to!

Well done Matt!!

 

All the best with the getting far one a tenner......................is it just you and the rep? or is it you Donna and the rep?......

 

Have you to pay for the rep too?

 

Cheers,

 

Michael.
