THE RALLY

WHAT

The Mongol Rally is a yearly charity event organised by a mad bunch that call themselves The Adventurists. The idea behind it is to put some real adventure back into our lives in these times when cheap travel has become easier and more accessible than ever. So in July 2020, we’re going to be driving from London, England, a third of the way around the world across some extremely challenging terrain, all the way (hopefully) to the finish line in Mongolia.

WHY

If by now you’re thinking we’ve gone completely nuts, well you’re right. But apart from satisfying our love for travelling and adventures, we’re also doing this to raise awareness and funds for some great charities around the world.

THE RULES

Your car must be totally unsuitable for this kind of journey and best described as a s**tbox. The stupider, the better.

You’re on your own. There is no set route, support or assistance. So when we inevitably break down in the middle of a desert, we’ll be relying on the kind hearts of strangers willing to help us out along the way.

Each team must raise at least £1000 for charity.

THE TEAM

FREDDIE

Position: Wheeler Dealer
Countries visited: 39
Countries driven in: 12
Mechanics experience: Hammersmith and Fulham Council’s car mechanics for beginners course
Skills brought to team: negotiation, sharpshooting, skiing (for emergency situations)

Having found Max in the wilderness and taken him in, it’s only right that Freddie be the one to set Max on his way from his leafy new home in North London to the nomadic fields of Mongolia. As the team’s Head Mechanic, he will be heavily relied upon in troubled times, but his beginners mechanics course will no doubt provide the answers. Where that fails, his negotiation skills and seductive smile should be enough to get the team to the next town.
