Hi

As a lot of you may already know from me going on about it last weekend, this summer I will be entering the Mongol Rally. This is a 10,000 mile drive from Goodwood (UK) to Ulaan Bataar, the capital city of Mongolia. I will be doing this with a friend of mine, Will and we will be driving a car "wholly unsuitable for the task", which some of you may have seen or heard about, a Skoda Felicia 1.3 Estate!

We need to raise over £1100 to enter the Rally which will go directly to the Mercy Corps charity. Mercy Corps is a charity which supports Mongolian people who live in the rural areas. They help by creating the means for them to become self sufficient and to continue their nomadic lifestyle by supplying them with materials to teach their children and farm their food.

We would be very grateful if you could take the time to help us to raise this money by giving a donation to our donation site http://www.justgiving.com/infinitepossibilitydrive .

If anyone can help us with camping supplies or vehicle parts and tools that would be a great help too.

If anyone would like more details please ask and I will be happy to help.

Thanks

hehe

I will try to donate some money, but being nearly a broke student it won't be much.

Cheers to all so far!

Regarding camping gear; all I need is burner of some sort and some pans/tools. I have tent sleeping bag, mat etc. and I can use the rear seats from the skoda as camping chairs.

Tool wise, I have nothing. So if anyone has any spare it would be great, Hammer, prying bar, large screw driver, socket set etc etc.

They will be far too heavy to bring back so all will be donated to locals when I reach Mongolia.

Thanks again guys, the PH SAS really are a great bunch!
