The pages listed here are Rallye Sud Schedule and diary of events.

Central and Southern Africa involve interesting terrain and road surfaces are a big feature. Dangerous animals are of course involved along with orienteering and re-orienteering skills. Special reversible maps are available to teams. We are being escorted through Kenya by Dr Helen Roberts who is an experienced rallyist with extensive local knowledge and wherever possible we welcome people who can provide local marshalling and details of local conditions, the terrain, geography and people.

Individuals and enterprises were invited to sponsor the Rally. Any, funds they made available went, without deduction of any kind to the Rallye's declared charities (see admin for details) and the generosity was fully acknowledged.

The charities were humanitarian, neither political nor sectarian in any way and involved with children, the aged, medicine and healthcare, water supply and animal welfare. As many as possible had been active in the countries visited. It was hoped that the rallye would help to provide a perspective to these. Any pictures or descriptions visitors or participants provided were appreciated and added to the Rallye reports published here.

The Rallye organisers paid all authorised expenses (it should be noted that no responsibility was taken for any injuries or damage caused in any way during or as a result of the Rallye. Those participating needed to ensure they were fully insured.) It was hoped that a number of sponsors would take part and every assistance ws made to ensure their visibility.

Our sponsors and the winners were to have had the opportunity of presenting the accrued charitable funds to the recipients' nominated executives at a special lunch in London, England where the organisers were to present the prizes. However popular opinion opted for a postal transfer of funds and a brief report summarising the amounts and recipients.

The last leg was South African coast (the next 'land' would be the south pole) where the virtual champagne (or similar) was splashed and virtual trophies presented.

A log was started on the first day of this historic event (see left). It is a running diary of events as they actually happend. Special sections were opened up as required. Scrutineering, being a specialist area had its own section.
