About the Adventure
Ladies and Gentlemen - Welcome to the last Greatest Adventure on the Planet
Hyde Park, LONDON to Ulaanbaatar, MONGOLIA
10,000 miles......a 1 litre car.....2 totally rubbish mechanics......& only 29 days
Now where did it all start?
After some magic luck we got through the lottery system to be allocated a team (phew!). Since then we've bought a beautiful Fiat Panda 1988 CL 1000 (hence Panda Watch!), discussed dangerous/ mad routes and spent much time staring blankly at the engine bay.
We are doing this in the name of unadulterated adventure but our goal, is of course, to also fundraise for some superb charities.
Have a look at our projects, sponsor us and HELP US MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Lets make a mockery of the organiser's £1000 target!!
