Enjoyed the Mongol rally so much that me and my mate Adam are planning another trip. Setting off on January the 31st, this rally will be going France, Spain, Crossing over into Morocco and then through the Sahara desert, passing Algeria, Libya and Egypt then heading for the far east and up the red sea. Will then cross over into turkey by ferry and then go the easern way round Europe, passing Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland and then on the home straight through France and back over to England. Something in the region of about 7500 miles and 3-4 weeks.
We are not doing this through an organisation and it isn't part of a bigger rally - me and Adam (team Rusty Rhinos on the Mongol Rally 2007) are doing it off our own back. We are raising money for Mercy Corps - a very worthwhile charity.
We are looking for another team...or 2....
...To come with us on this trip around Febuary 2009. So we can share the experience and have a good laugh. It is not for the sort that would only ever think of going on package holidays. There will be bartering, bribes, breaking down, lack of sleep and a fair amount of off road driving and sand. No hotels. But a huge amount of fun and see loads of places.
You will need a vehicle capable of doing it (to have another landie with us would be superb) and a bit of money and the mindset to do it.
Me and Adam were thinking of taking a range Rover, but decided against it as it makes it a bit too easy...so we are taking a 1963 series 2A. Another team, my mum and stepdad, are coming in this Series 2
