Story

So we been dreaming about this for more years than we care to remember, and stuff got in the way, like being skint, life and being more skint however it's been on the bucket list for far too long now... so let's have it...

Imagine yourself and a couple of mates squashed into a 1 donkey power rolling cake tin, desperately trying to navigate the Indian sub-continent. Taking on the world in a marginally glorified lawnmower. There’s no set route, no back-up and no way of knowing if you’re going to make it. The only certainty is that we will get lost, we will get stuck and we will break down. Adventure the old-fashioned way.

The 2020 Rickshaw Run starts on New Year’s Day, hangover included, and continues non-stop for 2 weeks for 3000km’s. In English money that's just shy of 1900 miles depending on how many detours, breakdowns and toilet-stops challenge our mission.

This is the INFAMOUS Rickshaw Run: Easily the least sensible thing to do with two weeks .....

And of course we're asking you kind folks to chuck in a couple of shekels to help support our superb, always-on-call Brecon Mountain rescue.
