What are we doing?

Find out exactly what we are doing by visiting our website at www.TriumphRally.org

The challenge is to drive from Coventry, UK to Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia in a classic car, a 1970 Triumph Herald 13/60 to be exact.

With no back-up team, no GPS (or even reliable maps for some countries!)  we'll be driving 10 000 miles, cross 5 mountain chains and 3 deserts, in a car that is 38 years old.

Minimal comfort, bad roads and expected breakdowns that we have no choice but to fix ourselves with whatever we bring with us (ductape, stockings and a sledgehammer perhaps?)

So why are we doing it?

We are trying to raise a considerable amount for charity (that's where you come in ).
And have some fun, although that is a secondary requirement.

Who are we raising money for?

We have chosen to raise money for two charities, RNLI Lifeboats and Gemin-i.org. Both are amazing charities, the former saving lives around the British coast, and the latter improving education around the world, and this year, working with the OLPC (one laptop per child) to get schools in outer Mongolia online and using their state-of-the-art online community Rafi.ki.

So please donate some money for these excellent causes,  you can donate to the RNLI directly at this page, or alternatively, go to this page to donate to Gemin-i.org. And don't forget to check out our progress on our team website

Many thanks for your support,
from the Not Yet a Triumph team (Chris Charlwood, Chris Raynor and Linda Sandvik)
