Book Description
It was a gruelling adventure and an epic challenge. On the face of it, all we had to do was get from London to Mongolia. But looking deeper it was going to be a lot less simple than it had first appeared. We had minimal planning, bought a horribly underpowered car that was fit for scrap, had no external support, no prior expedition experience or survival knowledge and decided to do it all in the name of charity. We only allowed ourselves three weeks to complete the adventure. I hadn’t even heard of half of the countries we were intending to cross and certainly didn’t speak the languages but we’d go for it anyway and see how things turned out. It couldn’t be that hard after all.Here’s my account of how it happened, what we came across, the scrapes we got into and how we got out of them and a selection of the numerous photos I took on the 9,592 miles to Mongolia. Some experiences defied belief, some were mildly terrifying but there are none that I will ever forget.

Book Description
In summer 2016 Team Rub-a-Dub-Dub Three Men and a Tub embarked on the greatest motoring adventure in the planet, the Mongol Rally. With no backup, no support and no set route, the three intrepid explorers thought "B*llocks to tarmac, ABS and gadgets that help you find your navel, it's time we ventured into the unknown". Follow the epic journey of Alex, Caleb and Rich along with Marigold, their 1997 Gold Nissan Micra, and Bilbo, the world's most well-travelled bathtub, as they drive to Mongolia and back again in 71 days. Read about strikes, trikes and mosquito bites; Potter, squatters and weather that gets hotter; horses, street auctions and their favourite tomato pasta sauces; and cheap fuels, eagles and dealings that were downright illegal. The scenery wasn't half bad either. They stared hell in the face, drove their hatchback up the Wakhan's yak track and steppe'd out across the Mongolian plains into the Land of the Eternal Blue Sky. 18,000 miles, 25 countries, 5 mountain ranges, 4 convoy cars, 3 deserts, 2 ducks and 1 Golden Nissan Micra. If nothing goes wrong, everything has gone wrong. Neither their car, nor their lives will ever be the same again.

Book Description
"Three boys from the island of Trescoe, Isles of Scilly take on one of the greatest challenges left on the planet - the Mongol Rally. This is their story, written on the road as it happened ... driving through a Russian heatwave, impounded for days in a border pen, chased by armed riders, bribing police and soldiers, weeks without a shower ... all for charity."--Back cover.

Book Description
Inspired and challenged by his quests of “getting there,” Bassam Tarazi and two friends signed on for the infamous Mongol Rally, a nearly 10,000-mile road trip from London to Mongolia through terrain that would make a mountain goat’s knees buckle, in a vehicle that was little more than a go-kart. Borders, Bandits, and Baby Wipes is Tarazi’s incredible tale of what comes with life on the go and off the map. It’s a dive into cultures and cop cars, big thoughts and meltdowns, and what it means to be human while covered in a constant sheen of awe and grime. Borders, Bandits, and Baby Wipes is a story about the kind of adventures we all said we’d have one day but never do. It’s about a world beyond our expectations, and our place in it.

Book Description
This is a collection of the blogs that were written every day whilst undertaking the Mongol Rally, with my school friend Mikey, in the summer of 2016. These blogs are a frank and truthful account of what it is like to spend five weeks on the road in a tiny red car, travelling over 10,000 miles, across a third of the world's surface, through 20 countries. The Mongol Rally is one of the toughest adventures in the world and this book gets you to the highs and lows as if you were in the passenger seat. The rally wasn't just about travelling the world. The pair managed to raise over £2000 for three charities: Cool Earth, The Back Up Trust and The Max Levene Trust. This Was helped by many sponsors, who took pride of place on the exterior of the little red car. Fletcher's Solicitors were the main contributors, more sponsors are given in the book.
