Cheshire Crispy Duckers 1,500-mile charity road trip
Buddies including four councillors and an ex-fire service boss in crazy mission
The Crispy Duckers are a slightly ‘quackers’ team driving to the South of France in a yellow hackney cab to raise money for two very deserving charities.
Adventurers are councillor buddies Mark Williams, Howard Greenwood, Mike Jones and Graham Spencer plus former fire service manager John Salt who aim to generate cash for the Hospice of the Good Shepherd at Backford and the North West Air Ambulance.
The Crispy Duckers are so-called because they belong to an informal social club of that name who meet for a Chinese meal every quarter.
Team members will take it in turns to drive about 300 miles each in the 1,500-mile specially organised charity road trip called The Two Ball Banger Rally featuring a total of 60 teams.
The rules state that each vehicle must cost no more than £567.
And the trip, which begins from the hospice on Thursday (August 17), will take in nine countries over five days including Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy, with a finish in Nice, France.
