Three adventurers from the Isle of Man are making final preparations for the journey of a lifetime next week, driving an old banger 4,500 miles to Timbuktu!
Juan McGuinness, James Jones and Ben Watterson, will be raising money for charity and are hoping well-wishers will turn up next Wednesday evening, when Ramsey MHK Anne Craine waves them off from the Sea Terminal.
Juan and Ben (pictured) talked to Manx Radio in a windy Douglas street:
