Shantiniketan, West Bengal. Had a strange couple of days going off the beaten track, haven't seen another RR team since Sat night. We know that quite a few teams have finished already, but we are seeing the real India and having adventures! So far one of us (no names mentioned - Chris) has had Delhi belly, we've paid a bribe to a policeman, got hopelessly lost in some rice paddies, stayed at some dodgy hotels and lost the other team we were travelling with! All fun and games. Hoping to meet up with the Danger Rangers in Raiganj tonight then head to Darjeeling for a day or two sightseeing and tea tasting. If all works to plan, will be reaching the finish line in Gangtok on Saturday. Helen & Chris, adventurers extraordinaire@

Managed to survive scary traffic in chennai, drive on some truly horrible roads shared with enormous trucks then we had to drive in the dark as no hotel would give us a bed! Eventually made it to a place called Kavali - never go there, hot dirty and full of mossies. Randy's exhaust about to drop off so off to find a mehanic.

Randy (the rickshaw) doing well against the mad indian truck drivers. Hit by a random coconut and accidently took a shortcut thro a tiger reserve.

Took ages to get to Munnar-fuel issues, giant hills, monsoonal rain. Interviewed on Asianet tv, so world famous in india. No sign of delhi belly
