Day 36

we drove directly from Ypres to Paris without any competition.
The arrival on Place Vendome is very emotional and it was great to see the danish flag! 
It has been a hard rally, there has been ups and downs, but the spirit to keep on fighting never disappeared. 
The adventure is over, so are our posts. We wish to thank the companies and people who supported the charity, it is highly appreciated. We are looking forward to a few more donations in order to reach our goal! We shall soon be sending the Peking to Paris caps and the limited Peking to Paris Skin Gin!
We have signed on Peking to Paris 2022, so a new adventure is in sight!

Day 28
We left Hyvinkää in the morning going straight for Hyvinkää Rally Cross and after that to Saukkolan.
Both stages were amazing! Rally cross is great fun and so are the special stages in the forest.
After the tests we went to Helsinki in order to take the ferry to Tallinn, where we ended up in a pride parade, very interesting!
Arrived at 7 pm at the hotel, spent two hours checking the car, found a split pin was missing on a bolt on the steering and a suspension part was loose. Jamie driving the Morris Minor was of great help – thanks, the next GT is on me!
Today we again pay a visit or two to rally cross tracks.

Day 19
Today we had an easy day with only two special tests. We took it easy, as we do not want to wreck the car, Paris is the goal!
We also crossed into Europe in Magnitogorsk, which is where Europe and Asia meet at 53.37’83” N and 59.01’00” E. We arrived at Bannoe Lake and had time to relax in the Russian holiday camp. People are very friendly and we only meet positive people. Several competitors went to garages along the route, in general you will not be allowed to pay anything!
