Jon and Carl wanted an adventure and to see a part of the world very few people would think of going to. So Jon persuaded his mum to give up her old VW Polo that had been sat on her driveway for nearly 3 years. So having roped in a couple of extra adventurers we set about getting the little Polo up and running and cleaning of the cobwebs / mold and layers of dust. It's now got it's MOT and completed a trouble free trip to Bristol and back. We will next need to get it looking the part ready for a 6 week trip through northern Europe, the great Russian continent and onto the Mongolian capital. 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.

Every 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 bovered.
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”
