    Story

    So, here we go.........

    We are a team of 3 dedicated fund raising adventurists driving from Wakefield (North UK) to Mongolia, setting off on 18th July 2019. The challenge is to get there in vehicle with less than 1000cc (1 litre) engines that cost us less than £1000 to buy and get rally ready! We are estimating that this will take us around 6 weeks. This is the sequel to our "warm up" rally that we did last August where we drove 2 Tuk Tuks the entire length of India (3,500km) over 2 weeks.

    Our chosen steed is a Subaru Sumo micro van from 1992. The van is bought for a mere £400 as a non-runner and has spent the last 12 months in the garage at home with Josh. He has scraped every last penny out of the bottom of what was a very shallow barrel, used his own limited mechanical knowledge and 2 hands to finally get the van ready. It has passed its MOT, is taxed and insured; we are ready to go!!

    All we need to do now is raise as much money as we can for "Cool Earth", "Dementia UK" & "Yorkshire Air Ambulance". These are three very well respected charities that we believe deserve donations. The idea of this page is to now ask you kind souls to donate a little to make this journey really worth our while!

    The route.... We will be setting off from London, getting the ferry over into France, heading slightly north through Belgium, into the Netherlands then driving east through Germany, into Slovakia. After Slovakia we will be heading south through Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and into Turkey. Then all the way through to Georgia, onto Azerbaijan, crossing the Caspian Sea by ferry into Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan north to Kazakhstan driving east into Russia. Then finally into Mongolia; before driving North to the finish line in Ullan-Ude. This journey will take us through the deserts, through the mountain ranges and on many dirt tracks. We will brake down (a lot), sleep next to the road and bath in rivers. It all sounds fun for now but i bet after 7 weeks.....i'm not too sure!

    So Meet the Team......

    Luke Milner....... This is a gentle giant of a man, standing nearly 6'3" with dreadlocks down to the back of his knees. He lives and works in Austria as a snowboard designer and builder, quite literally living his dream!

    Freddie Walker...... He and Luke live together and work in the same factory, a true match made in heaven and pretty much inseparable! A man with an unbelievable amount of ambition for snowboarding, and a genuine heart of gold, will do anything for anyone!

    Josh Milner...... The younger brother of Luke, an ECA (Ambulance Man) living in England. He has had to give up the winter game due to injury, lucky for the team though as he's the one at home working on the van and doing some research for this trip!

    Every donation will be in exchange for sticker/writing space on the van for those who wish, whether it be a personal message or company logos (you decide!). We will send photos of the van from on our route for you to use as you wish, for advertising or even on your bedroom wall! Every little donation will help so please support what we are trying to achieve.

    Thanks for reading and wish us luck!!
