MAD 2011 is an 8 man mission to drive 3 Landrover Defenders from the Pacific coast of Northern Russia to the Atlantic coast of Scotland. On our journey of nearly 10,000 miles we will travel some of the most remote roads on the Eurasian continent. We will pass through the infamous gulag archipelago, along the road of bones, down the Lina Highway (aka Highway from Hell), along the banks of Lake Baikal (the deepest lake in the world), across the planes of Mongolia, through the Alti mountains, into Western Europe and home to the west coast of Scotland.
Gavin Muir and Graham Craik (both from Ayrshire) are supporting Ayrshire Cancer Support who do fantastic work with cancer sufferers. As well as providing counseling and other servicer ACS provide transport to and from hospital appointments for people who have to attend regularly for treatment. Thankfully nobody has to travel 10,000 miles for a single appointment but ACS travel many times that every year taking people for vital treatment.
