I've added new feature for those of you with busy lives. You can now subscribe to our blog. All you need to do is follow this link and input your e-mail address. Then by the wizardry of the internet, you'll be sent our increasingly surreal mutterings as we try to describe just exactly what it is like to take on the Indian drivers on their home turf.

We've doubled our target to £2,000

Some of you may have noticed that our website now has over £1,000 on it. Surely with less that two weeks to go the obvious choice would be to congratulate ourselves with a jar or two and a hearty slap on the back. Especially as there's still the pressing matter of working out where we're going to sleep each night.

But no, when I ask you, have you ever known us to do the sensible thing? Exactly, so we've decided to work out all the boring bits on the plane ride over freeing up extra time to squeeze you guys for a few more readies.

Thanks to all of you who have kindly supported us so far, your generosity really will make a difference where it is most needed. To those of you who have not yet dipped your hands it is not too late to redeem yourselves.

The Calamity sweepstakes is still open for you to profit from out misfortune. Alternatively why not come up with a challenge for us? We're fairly adventurous guys and will give most things a go for a suitable donation. Want to see us eat a stupidly hot curry? How about I ride to work in the chicken costume one day? Over to you...
