WE FINISHED!

On 24th August at 16:05 Mongolian time the Gobi Ambulance rolled into down town Ulan Bator, Mongolia bringing our epic journey of 8700 miles and 16 countries to a conclusion.

Welcome to the Gobi Ambulance project. Before you explorer our web site allow us to give you a little background information on our little trip.

On July 19th 2008, teams will depart Hyde Park to drive around 10,000 miles to Ulan Bator, Mongolia on the Mongol Rally. Leaving with them will be a 1978 former St Johns Ambulance dubbed the “Gobi Ambulance” all in the name of charity. Well five charities actually.

The route is open to interpretation, London to Mongolia via anywhere! The team have chosen a tough route through much of central Asia. From Turkey the team heads south into Iran. Onto Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kryghystan before entering Borats home territory of Kazakhstan. Then into Russia before crossing into Mongolia via its Western borders around four weeks after leaving London - assuming no major break downs!

Four friends have signed up for this adventure: Mathew Booth, Russell Nunn, Stuart Garnham and Mark Logan.

Together they’ll be paragliding in Tajikistan, dodging land mines in Uzbekistan, avoiding drug runners in Kazakhstan, running from bandits in Russia, jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet in Iran and generally having an adventure packed four to six weeks in Transit to Mongolia.

On arrival in Ulan Bator Mongolia the Gobi Ambulance (assuming it's in one piece) will be auctioned off for charity.
