Story
On the 24th of July 2010, two architecture students from Waterford Institute of Technology and University Ulster Belfast (and one mystery guest) will set off on a behemoth journey across two continents, three deserts and five mountains travelling over ten thousand miles and covering over one third of the Earths surface with an end destination of Ulaan Baatar in Mongolia. All in the aid of charity!
The only rules for the rally are that it must be completed in a wholly unsuitable car (less than 10 years old), with an engine no bigger than 1200cc, and no backup crew. This is the Mongolian Rally 2010.
Team Ireland is an all Irish team from Cork and Cavan. Over three hundred teams enter every year mainly from Europe the USA and Canada. This adventure is being carried out all in the aid of two charities:
- The Christina Noble Childrens Foundation (http://www.cncf.org) works in Mongolia and is dedicated to serving underprivileged children with the hope of helping each child maximize their life potential.
