Dash To The Med 2

Published: 23 May 2023

No Sat Nav, No Motorways… No Roofs!

Dash To The Med 2 is an exhilarating charity event, with 30 participants across 15 decorated cars – each costing no more than £1,000 each – will drive from Reigate, diagonally across France to the final destination Antibes on the Mediterranean coast.

On 7th June 2023, at 17.30, 15 cars, all soft tops, will depart from Old Reigatians Rugby Club, on Park Lane in Reigate, heading for Portsmouth and the overnight ferry to St Malo.

Alister Gregson, the Managing Director of Fluid Hygiene, will be participating in the event, in a 2006 Mini Convertible, car #13.

To abide by the event’s regulations, the 15 cars taking part must not exceed a maximum cost of £1000, with a 10% allowance for dressing up and repairs. The designated route does not include the use of motorways, and participants are prohibited from utilising satnavs.

Cars can ONLY be driven with the roof down, come rain or shine. So, with drivers packing their raincoats and parasols, they will head off on this !! The whole trip, every single cost, is being covered by the drivers which means that EVERY SINGLE PENNY raised goes directly to our 4 chosen charities.

This year the teams aim to raise £75,000 for charity. All costs for the car and travel are covered by the teams themselves, so every single penny donated will be evenly distributed among the four charities.
