Back on track

Right, for those who don't know this summer on the 18th July, I shall be setting off on a little adventure known as the Mongol Rally all in the name of charity! The afore mentioned charity is the Mercy Corps, they do some great work around the world so well worth the effort.

I've mustered up a couple of allies for the road, both being equally unaware of the adventure that lies ahead of us. So all in all, this should amount to some life lessons, stories for the grand children, huge arguments and a whole heap of fun!

Essentially we are undertaking an 8-10 thousand mile drive from Goodwood race circuit on the south coast of England, through countries such as the Czech Republic, Russia, Kazakhstan and ultimately arriving at the capital of Mongolia - Ulan Bator.

But not to tarnish this lovely undertaking in anyway, we’ve also committed to travel in a 993cc Suzuki Swift, this red beast from the east, will be our chariot, and the simple aim of the adventure is to raise a minimum of £1,000 for the Mercy Corps whilst having a whole heap full of fun!

So until that faithful date arrives in July, there’s things that must be done. We’ve obviously got the car sorted; we still need to get visas for every leg of the journey, insurance and petrol money among other things.

Corporate sponsors would be ideal to help us achieve this goal, so we’ve got an information pack together to send to potential sponsors.

So that is where we stand at the moment with only 146 days remaining.

Take care,
