unleash the dragon Unleash the dragon, we've bagged a spot on the Mongol Rally 2008!!!

According to the rally organisers, this summer will be the stuff of legend.. deserts, mountain ranges, bad roads, no roads and getting stuck in the arse end of nowhere with nothing but a crap car and some increasingly brown pants awaits us.. Can't beat it!

On Saturday 19th July, we'll be setting off from Hyde Park in London on a 10,000 mile road trip, a third of the way around the globe to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia. All things going to plan (what are the chances?!?!), this should take us through a fair chunk of Europe, Central Asia and the Far East. It's all for a good cause, we'll be raising awareness (and hopefully sacks of coin) for Mercy Corps and the work they are doing in Mongolia to support rural communities and herding families through economic, educational and agricultural programmes. Plus of course, it gives us a fantastic opportunity to get out there and explore the far corners of the
planet, experiencing one of the toughest rallies in the world from the steaming front seat of a tiny, clapped out, 1L crapmobile!

There's still loads to do before we're ready to set off, so watch this space for updates as we find a car, plot a course through the stans and plan a few events to raise some cash. Surely a lamington drive and a quick flick though 'Mechanics for Dummies' will do the trick???
