Driving from London to Cape Town · 18 August 2024

We’re Cool Earth. We exist to champion the relationship between people, rainforest and climate. And the best way to do that? Back, support and listen to the people living there and take climate action with Cool Earth.

Story

Hi!

We’re Harry, Ben and Rowan. This summer, we are going to attempt to break the world record of 10 days and 3 hours driving from Marble Arch in London to Cape Town in South Africa.

We are doing this in a camper van that we bought for £500 and have spent the last few months modifying it so it will (hopefully) survive the journey.

We’re raising money for Cool Earth, which is an international charity that funds Indigenous communities to protect endangered rainforests in order to combat the climate crisis and protect ecosystems.

If we manage to raise £500 before we set off in August, Ben and Harry will be getting perms!
