About the Adventure Autumn 2007: We are two girls with a major dilemma... when to sun ourselves next summer? Faliraki and Magaluf frankly seem a bit passe and Cornwall doesn't really hold the kind of excitement we're after. Hence began some serious overuse of that wonderful thing known as google.

When we first stumbled across the Mongol Rally is was a bit of a drunken joke, something to chat up hot boys with, they generally seemed impressed! However six months on and it's now got to the stage where we've paid a certain amount in entrance fees and told pretty much everyone we know that we are going... and so it seems that for the sake of our dignity, if nothing else, on the 19th July we will be leaving for Mongolia!

Not only will we be heading for this apparently random choice of country one quarter away around the world but we actually intend to drive there in a car with about as much power as a milk float across roads that are either terrible or nonexistent and through countries you'd be forgiven for thinking were made up (kyrgyzstan anyone?!). One of us does have a geography degree but unfortunately she wont be putting her beautifully honed map reading skills to any use as most of the countries in question don't believe in maps, and even google earth finds the whole area a bit overwhelming (seriously give it a go!).

Every great adventure has a purpose and we'd like to iterate that ours is not the pursuit of a perfect tan (after all one of us is half Irish and so simply can't). The real reason we're putting ourselves in mortal danger is for the sake of some very good causes. We need to raise ₤1000 which will be split between Mercy Corps Mongolia and The Christina Noble Foundation both of which you can learn more about on our charities page on our website. Any subsequent money we raise will be donated to the Foundation for the Study of Infant Death, the UK's leading infant health organisation.
