At long last Fenwicks entry to the Mongol Rally, team Catch us if you Khan has got hold of our vehicle.  Our Mercedes 811D 33 seater mini coach will be our trusty steed that will take us all the way to Mongolia 10,000 miles away across all sorts of hostile terrain.  We won her on ebay and collected her last weekend from Shropshire.   One of our main sponsors www.idogifts.co.uk are sponsoring us by paying for the bus which is a fantastic help.  Another of our sponsors ''The one 2 company'' will be doing some work on the bus to make it unique and also comfortable for the 10,000 mile (4/5 weeks) rally.  Once we get to the finish line in Mongolia's capital city  Ulaanbaatar we are donating our bus to  CYPPD - Children and Young People's Protection and Development to be put to good use over there.

For those who don't kown about the Mongol Rally here it is in a nutshell!

THE MONGOL RALLY 2010? Well think about this..... 10,000 miles, 15 countries, brutal deserts, bloody great big mountains, bandits, bad roads & no roads.  The Mongol Rally is about getting stuck up to your armpits in all sorts of unpleasant delights in the arse end of nowhere, then hoping you can find a way out.  If nothing goes wrong then everything has gone wrong!

There's no back up or support of any kind, no set route and no guarantee you will make it to the finish line.  It's not a race, there's no prize for arriving first and the teams who don't quite make it usually have the best stories.  The real fun starts when you break down in the desert with nothing but a short stick and some chewing gum.

Launching from the UK, Spain & Italy, teams converge in the Czech Republic for a monster of a party with their trusty steads.  Many head south to Iran and Turkmenistan, others head across the Kazakh desert and some have gone as far north as the Arctic Circle.

Just when you think you're making progress, the roads run out and and you hit the wilderness of Mongolia.  There are no roads, no signs and some of the most punishing terrain in the world.  Navigation is a mixture of compass, luck, bravery and asking directions from nomadic horsemen who point at roughly towards the next big mountain and laugh.

On top of making grown adults wet their pants with excitement, enormous amounts of money are raised for charities who work in Mongolia and countries along the way.  By donating directly to the official charities the rally teams bring massive benefits to the countries that make the adventure a reality.  You khan donate online by visiting http://www.justgiving.com/Catch-us-if-you-Khan
