Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This summer Geordie, Bert and Tolly are driving through Europe, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Russia, arriving finally in Mongolia 40 days later.

As much as we’d love to be detailed about out route, we honestly do not know what we will encounter or where we will end up. All we can say is that we are driving over mountains, through deserts and some of the most remote terrain on the planet, in a tiny 1 litre Suzuki Alto. There will be no AA support team, no communications and most importantly no Sat Nav! It will be a tough test of our intuition and strength, both physical and mental.

For an undoubtedly difficult expedition, it would mean so much if you  made a small donation to support us, and more importantly a fantastic charity.
