As our Mongol Rally fundraising pages draw to a close, the five of us would like to say a final thank you to everyone who donated or supported us in one way or another over the past year. The whole endeavour really wouldn’t have been the success it was without you. We raised almost £14k for our two charities, gave them a heap of exposure and delivered an ambulance which, with a little TLC, will enjoy many years of valuable service in Mongolia.

The trip itself was incredible – we drove 9617 miles through 18 countries in 32 days, scaled mountains, bribed police, tackled the worst roads we’ve ever seen, got stuck in sand, endured grim ferry crossings, spent weeks without showering and got totally lost in translation, but we were mostly stunned by the fantastic scenery and all the great people we met along the way. We’d definitely encourage anyone who can find the time to just go for it – it was an experience we won’t ever forget.

If anyone is keen to learn more about our trip, there is a selection of our photos up on our website at www.thedouglascar.com as well as the first half of a cheeky video diary of sorts (more will come as it gets done). Advait has also embarked upon writing a full blown novel which, judging from the first chapter, will be up for several literary awards when it is finally released in 2020 ;-)

Thanks again,

Dave, Nick, Advait, Matt and George
