Andy Potter featured our adventure earlier on in the year, just after we had been accepted on the Timbuktu challenge, on his Saturday afternoon alternative sports show on BBC Radio Derby.
We are going live for our second feature on Tuesday 27th November 2007 from 1pm onwards on the Alex Trelinski afternoon show. If the rain holds out we will be broadcasting live from the BBC Radio Derby car park. Following this show we shall be turning our best side for the Derby Evening Telegraph article photographer and then it’s off like a Royal tour of the city as we are whisked off to the City Hospital to meet the Cardio team and let them sit in our desert stomping banger for more attractive shots of the challengers!
We had our interview with Derby’s version of Chris Moyles or Terry Wogan, whichever takes your fancy – It was actually Alex Tralinski – on the 27th November – you can listen to it here!

On Friday 9th November 2007, the Barnsley Chronicle ran an article spreading the word of Team Dusty Crusties to the mid-Yorkshire contingent in Barnsley. We made page 15! Despite how it sounds, Bob (formerly known as Ian) is not evading the law or had a sex-change, and Andy will just have to get used to being called Naylor. Here’s the article in all its glory, just below the bit about Majorettes.
Anyway, we still support you Barnsley Crocodile,
