On 02 January 2010, Jamie, Roly and Chris set forth from Pokhara, in Nepal, in a superbly decorated auto-rickshaw.  On 15 January 2010, they reached Kochi, in Kerala, towards the southern tip of India, having befriended a number of India's finest mechanically minded men, explored the country (with visits to the Taj Mahal and the Ellora Caves), drunk a little gin (tried some Indian champagne and plenty of local beer) and just about avoided Buddha's blight, Delhi belly and other such pleasures (well not strictly true for Chris)...

You can review their route at http://rickshawrun10w.theadventurists.com/theginexpress.

They are raising money for charity - they have raised £1,000 for the adventure's nominated charities (Mercy Corps (India) - www.justgiving.com/theginexpress and Maiti Nepal www.justgiving.com/ginexpress) and would now like to raise some further funds for the NACC whose work has enabled Jamie to participate...

JustGiving is a secure online method by which to donate but if you would prefer to donate offline, please contact Jamie, Roly or Chris directly.

Thanks for your time (and your money!).
