Congratulations from all your friends at Alouette.
***
Alouette member and PPL Pat (Paddy) Mottram and his friend Laura Pollitt are all set to start the adventure of a lifetime when they leave for South America next month. Their ambitious plan is to start and finish in Rio de Janeiro and to travel through every country and capital in South America.
They have been planning this trip for 18 months and, as you can imagine, there is a lot to consider especially as some of the areas they will go through are less than safe. Also, they will encounter some difficult terrain and harsh environments, such as the
Atacama Desert and the Andes, so this won't be an easy task.
You can follow their adventures as they will be updating their website whilst away so take a look at;

Paddy and Laura are supporting ABC, the Brazil Children's Trust, through their efforts and would be grateful for any donations which can be made through their website. The aim is to raise at least £5,000 so why not donate now? Just click the link to Donate
From all of us at Alouette, we wish you bon voyage and look forward to your safe return and to hearing some of the tales you will, no doubt, have to tell.
