They want to be back in time to join the Brighton to London Eco-Rally on July 7th, but they have four weeks ahead of them, approximately 4500 miles and a wealth of extension leads and universal adaptors to get to grips with.
Sometimes BBC progs can be downloaded as podcasts so it may work outside the UK.
