TEAM: the Odd couple

It all began in a tapas bar on the Costa del Sol after a few glasses of Rioja too far. So here we are, so far from our comfort zone, we’ll never find our way back.
A potent mix of Latin fire and Scottish flame-haired short temper brings Spaniard Franco Rey and Anna Smith together for the ultimate road trip – an epic 10,000 mile trek from London across the globe to Mongolia.

We might look as though we could qualify for a SAGA holiday, but the Mongol Rally expedition is no bus run for this intrepid duo. If we can manage past Paris without a major punch-up, the Gobi desert will be a breeze in our 1000cc car.
It should be the adventure of a lifetime, and we are seriously up for this challenge and determined to make it all the way to Ulaanbaatar. But the Mongol Rally is not just about adventure. It’s about raising money for charity and doing something that just might have an impact on the lives of other people.

Our principal charity is Mercy Corps Mongolia and in the UK, we have chosen Cancer Research. So we’re up and running, chasing sponsors, fundraising and planning our trip as far as we can.
