Adventure Alert
@ 31. Mar 2006 - 16:28:03This is for anyone with a teensy bit of adventure running riot in their veins. Those suffering WonderLust should look away now to avoid burning up with jealousy..
The MongolRally is an event designed (or not designed at all) to race in the most clapped out vehicle you can find (with engine size no more than a litre) 8000 miles across Europe and Asia into Mongolia. Some people have done it in a Robin Reliant. You get to travel through Russia, Iran, Istanbul and cross the Caspian Sea. I know little about these countries and what they entail but it sounds A-mazin. Apparently last year some vehicles didn't make it all the way so some participants took to camels and horses to complete the race. Awesome. Other wacky races put on by this organization include crossing the channel in a bouncy castle and commandeering a Tuk-Tuk in India and marauding around there. You get the jist.
My friends are taking part in this calamatous race this summer and so we are all currently masterminding fundraising events to get them there. I also hope to go and meet them at the finish line. And I cannot wait!
