The Arctic Circle Expedition '26

The Challenge: 10 MINI Cooper S vs. The Arctic

To make this journey truly unique, a dedicated convoy of ten generation 1 (05-07) R52 MINIs will be setting off on a 5,000 miles gruelling round-trip across the northern half of Europe, driving across the Baltic States, and climbing all the way to the absolute northernmost tip of Norway, Nordkapp.

We will be navigating unpredictable weather, freezing elements, and thousands of miles of challenging tarmac. It is a spectacular but brutal driving trial, and every single mile we cover is dedicated to a cause that means the world to our club community.

Why We Are Driving: Prostate Cancer UK

We are undertaking this Arctic epic to raise vital funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK—the club's chosen charity.

This is a cause incredibly close to our hearts. Too many of our fathers, brothers, and friends have been affected by this devastating disease. Prostate cancer is a true killer, but it doesn't have to be. By taking on this extreme challenge, we want to turn our shared passion for driving into life-saving research, better treatments, and crucial support for those who need it most.

How You Can Support Us

We have funded our cars and the trip privately, meaning 100% of your donation goes directly to Prostate Cancer UK. We would be incredibly honoured if you would consider backing our convoy.

Whether you are a fellow petrolhead, a friend of the club, or someone whose life has been touched by this charity, your support keeps our wheels turning. Even just donating £5—the price of a coffee—makes a massive difference in the fight to stop prostate cancer in its tracks.

Thank you so much for your generosity, your cheers from afar, and your support. Keep an eye on our social media channels for live updates from the frozen roads ahead! Shift gears, save lives.
