Story

This is the latest idea in a long list of daft ideas. This time I am taking part in the Mongol Rally in my 1.5l Nissan Almera. This is a charity rally that sets off from Goodwood racetrack on the 24th July 2010, driving a third of the way around the world to Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia. My car is then donated to the charity on arrival. I hope to take 3-4 weeks to complete the rally, or I may not have a job to come back too!

The rally raises vital funds for the charity Mercy Corps. This may not be the most well known charity, however Mercy Corps carries out vital work in the poorest countries of the world. If you want more information regarding the good work the charity is involved in, visit their web site. There is a link on this page.

My proposed route passes through the following countries; France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Southern Russia, Kazakhstan, Russia for a second time, ending in Mongolia. If you want more information about the event and my route visit my rally web page at http://mongolrally.theadventurists.com/ and look at the 2010 teams menu, my team name is Road Warrior.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my just giving page and please give generously.
