GWT Supporters in Mongol Rally Challenge
Six Trust supporters - Team name 'Yak to the Future' - are currently passing through Iran on their Mongol Rally Challenge.
In July 2010 Freddie Weaver, Alex Chaize, Rupert Weaver, Fred Puckle Hobbs, Toby Floyer-Acland and Will Godfrey set off on a massive 10,000 mile journey to Ulan Baatar in Mongolia as part of The Adventurists' Mongol Rally.
Their journey features incredibly treacherous terrain in some of the world's most hostile countries. Their transport consists of three Suzuki Swifts, with their low ground-clearance, lack of power and poor traction they are ideal for the job.
Described as the "greatest adventure in the world", The Mongol Rally challenges teams to drive a third of the way around the earth, from Europe to Mongolia via a plethora of countries most people haven't heard of in a car that has an engine with no bigger than 1 litre.
Starting from England, Spain and Italy, the rally finishes in the Mongolian capital Ulaan Baatar around four weeks and a whole heap of adventure later. It's between about 8 and 10,000 miles depending on the route you choose to throw your trusty steed at. It is supposed to be an adventure not a cosy guided driving tour.
As part of this daring endeavour we are delighted to say they have chosen to support the Trust.
To find out more about their trip visit the website, leave them a message of support or donate online.
