Costing
For those of you that are interested, I am now going to give you the estimated costing for the trip.
We are sure that this is an under estimate not an over estimate. What we have the costing for we have recipes and bills so I would say add about 1.50% to the total. We also had a Fairtrade food hamper donated to the value of £300.
When you see the grand total, you will realise why I have to sell my van and a few other items to make up the I have a shortfall of £2052.67. A price well woth paying. A debt that has is will woth paying.
Was it worth it? Would I do it again? A resounding yes, but this time a different country and if I can clear this debt and raise the cash, as you will have already read, that in 2210 that country is Ireland.
Everyone should try the E2E it is an amzing joureny and a joureny of self discovery for all who take on the E2E challenge. Try it and see, you will not reget it...
I hope you find this information of some interest and some use.
