About Our Journey
As some of you already know, Kim and I are taking on a little challenge this Summer…
We have entered the Mongol Rally (see www.mongolrally.com for details) .. a charity rally which takes place each Summer. The challenge is to drive a car with an engine no bigger than 1ltr from Hyde Park, London to Ulaan Bator,
Mongolia (i’ve included a map for those of you who aren’t quite sure where that is). Thats a 1/3rd of the way around the world, about 10,000 miles, with 7 mountain ranges and 3 deserts along the way (oh and there isn’t much
in the way of roads after poland).
We have been kindly donated a 1998 Nissan Micra, 998 cc.. its a beast! and are entered in the rally (team name - micragolia) and underway with preparations (any one able to teach us how to change a tyre?).
We are doing the rally to raise funds for 2 charities - Mercy Corps, and Hopes and Homes for Children. (info about the two charities is at the bottom of this page)
In way of an entry requirement we need to raise a minimum of £1000 for charity before we set off on July 21st.

“Mercy Corps supports rural communities to meet their economic and social needs, helping individuals, families and communities to become more self-sufficient, diversified in their production, and better linked to local, regional and national markets”
“Hope and Homes for Children work in countries including Romania, Ukraine, Kosovo, Belarus and Moldova/Transdnistria, focusing on closing down the state institutions and removing children from the terrible conditions in these centres. The children are reunited with siblings, and where possible placed with their biological families. Other children are relocated to small family homes, which provide them with a loving, stimulating environment enabling them to reach their full potential. “
