A good report, and good to see you made it back!
Are you having another go in a year or two?

Also - don't sell the mini this time! You know you'll regret it!

I would love to have another go at it, Mongolia looks like such an amazing place and I still really want to get there, it unfinished business :)

Getting work and Lucy to let me have 5 weeks off again might be a little tricky though :D

and just so everyone knows, mini's are awesome! Rust is evil!

As for the age thing I am not 100% sure but at a guess 21 to drive in some of the countrys (and on the assumption that your Mum will let you go, I had to tell mine I was in Wales :thumbsup: )

Just read the whole thread, sounds like an amazing trip.

Glad you met up with James Dan & Sophie in the yellow clubby ( i went to the Nurburgring with them ) they are amazing people :)

Epic, Charles-Charlie-Charles. Just epic. :) :D :)


How are you going to top that next time?











You handed in your report almost a year late, so you get zero marks. Try harder.

Charlie this is amazing! I can't believe how far Charlie has gone?! I take it from the amount of repairs you had to do along the way you need quite a good mechanical know how? would love to do something similar but if i broke down i would only know le basics :(
