The bikes were packed and crated by John, Paul and Adam at Martins Rubber Factory (Southhampton), then trucked to Felixstowe ready for 28.04.00 when they were shipped on the "Valpariso Express". This ship sailed through the Panama canal and down to Santiago, where they were unloaded, and trucked, down to Punta Arenas in southern Chile. They arrived there 3 weeks ago (6.6.00), and are now in a clearing shed waiting for us to arrive, and unpack them. We will then need to spend a day rebuilding them and loading up ready to move out. Here's hoping we can fit all our luggage on!
