We three idiots jumped into our Punto on 18 July 2009 and joined the Mongol Rally, driving 9,000 miles from Cornwall to Mongolia to raise money for Cornwall Hospice Care.
Yeah, we weren't sure whether that was a good idea either.
We got way more than we could have hoped for: a Caspian ghost ship, a broke border crossing with no visas, an Uzbek wedding and countless attempts to get us to pay for sex. All designed to test our team philosophy:

You can read all about the trip in the archive to the right. There's an entry for each day, and all of them are way too long and detailed. We saw it mainly as a record for ourselves, but it may be handy if you're planning a similar trip. There's literally nothing of practical value in it, but it should make you smile.
You can make a brew and start at day one, or navigate around based on whatever catches your eye.
The result of it all: we managed to hit the ridiculous fundraising target of £5k (plus £1k for Mercy Corps in Mongolia). Which essentially shows that our mates are brilliant. Thanks.
