Mongol Rally 2011

Today something a bit different. Normally I would upload photos from my past travels but this time it's about my future adventures. Later this year I'm taking part in the Mongol Rally, a crazy attempt to drive a 1.2 litre car from Prague (Czech Republic) to Ulanbataar (Mongolia). Planned route for the "Crosscontinental Dumpling Tour" as we're called involves going through Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan again, Russia again and finally Mongolia.

It's a charity rally, there is no set route, no support teams, and no prize for coming first. We also have to raise at least £1,000 (around $1,600) for charities to enter so your help would be much appreciated. If you want to see some photos from all these "-stan" countries here later in the year please visit our website and help us making it all possible: www.mongolrally.com.au.

You can also donate straight from here. First option is a rally chosen charity - the Christina Noble Children's Foundation, which runs health and educational programs in Vietnam and Mongolia. Just click below and note that donations through JustGiving are in punds (1GBP equals around 1.6AUD today).

You can also help us directly to get us a bit closer to getting our visas and eventually buying the car.

Thanks heaps!
