A few months ago us four boys grouped together after hearing about ‘The Poles of Inconvenience.’ The charity centred rally will take us 10,000 miles across Europe and North Africa to 82 of the ‘silliest’ most difficult places fathomable to get to in a car. The world’s highest sand dune, the second largest canyon to the Grand Canyon with 60 unlit tunnels, a deserted communist base, you name it! The only catch, we have to do it in 1.2 litre cars! So with our trusty old wagons: a 23 year old Suzuki named Velma, painted like the mystery machine and a soon to be painted, 25 year old Polo that just broke down in Banbury, we’re taking it on!

We’re doing this all for the Tom’s Trust . A charity supporting young children with brain tumours and their families. We had a connection with the charity before and we all agreed whilst we are so lucky to have the freedom and health to explore the world we should see if we could help those less fortunate along the way!

With this in mind, please follow along and feel free to donate as we take on this mega challange. We’ll create some challenges of our own along the way that we hope might incentivise some further donations! In the meantime, we look forward to taking you along the journey with us, whether it’s breaking down on the side of a mountain or cooking our ration packs off a smoking engine it’s going to be a lot of up and downs. Any support would be hugely appreciated,

All the best,

Hector, Ned, Julian and Will x
