Story
Jon Tong, Carl Ruxton, Tanveer Ahmed, Victoria Fox and Andy Rouse are on an epic adventure to drive a tiny VW Polo from London to Mongolia and to see a part of the world very few people would think of going to. The journey has been divided into 3 stages, so that the Jon and Carl can be supoported by Tanveer on leg 1 to Moscow, then by Victoria on leg 2 to Almaty and then by Andy on the final push to Ulanbaatar.The journey is part of The Adventurist's London to Mongol Rally 2015 and the MeSoDirtyPanda team have chosen a route through northern Europe, the great Russian continent and onto the Mongolian capital via Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. With your support we hope to raise funds for the sponsored charities cool earth and water aid. Look out for videos of our journey!! Please note as we have two charities we would like to split the fund raising so have a team page set-up with link to both. We would like to raise at least £500 for each.

https://twitter.com/mesodirtypandaEvery team needs a mascot! Everyone loves Pandas! So why not a Panda! The team will be making some difficult border crossings and we wanted to choose something which will endear us to bored, tired officials who really aren’t that bovverred.
Panda habitats are under ever increasing pressure, so to assist identifying a new suitable habitat, the team will be strapping a large cuddly Panda to the roof at the start of the rally. Wherever it falls off – be it in one of the northern European capitals, the Russian countryside, the Kazak grand canyon (Sharyn Valley), one of the historic Silk Road towns in Uzbekistan, the Altai mountain range or even the Mongolian Steppe – will be it’s new home. We all hope he doesn’t fall off (or get stolen) makes it to the finish line – one way or the other. Maybe another team will pick him up? Eitherway. strapped to the Polo for 10,000miles and 6wks – he’s gonna get Dirty! So, “Me So Dirty Panda”
