Mongol Rally logo

The Mongol Rally is a 10,000 mile car rally from London to Mongolia - through 17 countries, 3 deserts, 5 mountain ranges, and bandit land... the world is pretty much your oyster. To get to the end teams have gone as far north as the Arctic Circle and as far south as Afghanistan on what can only really be described as somewhat circuitous routes. What happens to you between London, the deserts, mountains, bandits and wilderness is anyone's guess. In a normal year less than half the teams make the finish line in one piece.

It's an amazing adventure, and an incredible insight into areas of the world most people haven't even heard of... What's more, it raises money for some great charites, including the Christina Noble CNCF Sunshine Ger villiage in Mongolia :
