Last week I bought a 15 year old, very poorly maintained, 1.1 litre hatch-back from a nice man named Phil and his wife Wendy in south-east suburban London. We’ll be competing in the Mongol Rally; a charity car rally with not many rules, no set route and no support crew. More info can be found herehttp://www.theadventurists.com/mongol-rally/ . The car must be small and rubbish
2. Teams are totally
unsupported
3. Teams need to raise at least £1000 for charity
WHEN? We’re leaving London on July 16th (Leaving Party info to follow soon) and will hopefully arrive 7 weeks later in Ulan-Ude, Siberian Russia. WHERE? We’ll be driving around 16,000km in our little Citroen Saxo. We’ll pass through:
18 Countries
3 Semi-autonomous republics
1 active warzone
1 dormant warzone
2 Continents
2 Seas
2 Deserts
2 Benevolent Dictatorships
1 Malevolent Dictatorship
The Second Highest Highway in the world
Most of the -istans
The Dry Aral Sea
The Gates of Hell
The Hearts, Minds and Souls of everyone we meet. WHO? Jamie Mackintosh, Carl Davis and Nick Freeland will be spending a lot of time in the car together. John Piper will be briefly joining at the mid-way point to offer emergency moral and mechanical assistance. HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? As per rule number 3, we’re looking to raise some money for charity- if you want to contribute to fixing the earth we’d be very thankful. Each donator will get a personalised thankyou note written on the car- the bigger the donation the more exuberant the thanks. WHAT NOW? This page will collate each step of the preparation and ex*****on of our trip. We hope you enjoy the show.
