Mongolia or bust for @CRY_UK
One for the road.
This summer, Nico Mendoza-Sharman will be tackling the Mongol Rally and among the beneficiaries will be CRY.
Nico’s team, ‘Baby Don’t Yurt Me’, will attempt to drive a one litre Volkswagen Polo 10,000 miles, from Prague in the Czech Republic to Ulan-Ude in Siberia via Mongolia.
The event’s organisers write: “Any old dullard can purchase a 4×4 that could easily make it across the surface of the moon and drive a quarter of the world’s circumference, and that, is exactly what the Mongol Rally is not about.
“It’s about small. It’s about stupid. It’s about unsuitability. It’s about humour. We have purposely set the bar for engine size to a mere 1 Litre – or 1000cc. We shall allow up to a 1.2 for those of you who can’t handle a whole litre of courage …”
We’re hugely grateful that Nico and the team have selected CRY as one of the four charities they’re raising money for. You can support them by donating here.
