Welcome to our Adventurist Webpage, to see our official team page, head over to www.TrekkingInTweed.com

We are team of young antipodean thrusters who have an unhealthy fascination with all things related to tweed, tea and adventure (essentially we aspire to be more British than the Indians).

We are competing in the Mongol Rally 2012, a motor-vehicle rally organised by a group of eccentric young Britons who call themselves “The Adventurists” [ www.adventurists.co.uk].

The premise of this rally is to drive a highly unsuitable car, in the name of charity, from London, UK, to Ulan Bator, Mongolia (approximately 10,000 Miles, dependant on the particular route taken). And by “highly unsuitable car”, we mean something with an engine capacity of less of than 1.2 Litres (think Nissan Micra or Toyota Yaris).

Our Charity of Choice is Legacy [ www.legacy.com.au] and we are aiming to raise at least $15’000AUD.

Follow our exploits here, as we cram four rather large chaps, in a highly unsuitable car and ferry ourselves from London to Ulaanbaatar and if you would like to donate, please do here: www.everydayhero.com.au/trekking_in_tweed

Maps of Russia and the stans purchased, however it would appear that Eric being able to quote "The Hunt for the Red October" verbatim and some other members of the team having long histories with Russian Working Girls does not directly translate into them being able to read a map in russian
