The Adventurists      

Hei!

Vi er et team som skal delta i "Rally" Mongolia 2012. Dette er et billøp som starter fra den legendariske Goodwood Speedway i England og går hele veien til Ulaan Baatar i Mongolia. Rally Mongolia er et veldedighetsarrangement som har som mål å samle inn penger til Lotus Barnesenter i Mongolia og til Kreftforeningen i Norge. Planen er å samle inn så mye som mulig til hver av veldedighetsorganisasjonene.

Dette "rallyet" handler ikke om å komme først, men å komme dit i en bil som også kommer til å bli donert til veldedighet.

Dette er organisert av The Adventurists som er ett engelsk-basert selskap som organiserer veldedighet innsamling i ulike deler av verden.

All informasjon om dette finner du på www.theadventurists.com

Starten går i Goodwood Speedway - England 14 juli 2012 og varigheten avhenger av hindringer vi møter underveis, men regner med å være i mål 6 1/2 uke senere, noe som betyr rundt den 26. august 2012.

Vi er takknemlige for all mulig hjelp.

 

Med vennlig hilsen Hans Petter Stølsvik

Met lots of other Rallyers on the roads who had lots of problems with engines, tyres, susspension etc. Had 3 flat tires throuout the day but had spares on the roof rack so diddent lose to muchtime on that...hoping getting to Ulaanbaataar on thursday...

made the Mongolian border last night but sadly there is 30 rally cars camped up at the border station. Met other rallyers that had spent 48 hours here. The reason its slow is money transfers between the adventurists and the Mongolian autorities. Bought beer and someone orderd å hole goat for 130US dollars. Goat testicles isnt to bad actually. Woke up to rain and 4 degrees, once more i have failed packing down the right gear...

Høye fjell, enorme avstander, geiteslakting, testikkelspising, historier fra andre rally deltagere, ganske rask behandling på grensa, snøbyger, regn, minusgrader, elendige veier, penger med bilde av Chingis Chan, dumplings, overnatting i ger, besøk hos lokale i deres hjem, upasteurisert melk, yak ost....noen ord fra MONGOLIA så langt:)
