24 Hour Blitz
Between 6am yesterday and 6am this morning, we left Croatia after our 4 hour border wait, crossed Montenegro through 5-yard fog, crossed Albania in 6 hours under a constant thunderstorm (more light than dark all night), and made it into Greece! Maybe a day off?
Tiranë, Albania
Crossed Montenegro in 5 shorts hours. Onwards through Albania!
Igalo, Montenegro
4 hours and two border crossing attempts later we finally make it into Montenegro.
Mostar, Bosnia
Just finished a meal and a beer overlooking Stari Most (fanous bridge in Old Town). Sun has set and all looking rather lovely
Zadar, Croatia
Staying in an apartment with shower and cooking facilities on the cheap. Not really wanting to leave this but Albania beckons.
The Dolac Guesthouse
One night of luxury! Treating ourselves to a bed and a shower!
Sure beats service stations.
Rijeka, Croatia
Exciting day. But one serious casualty, we ran over our only kettle! But we have a traffic come to replace it, so all is not lost.
Trieben, Austria
Camped next to a BP garage about 1000m up in the mountains, 2nd gear had heavy usage yesterday and we're going even higher today
Klenova, CZ
Pitched up at the Czech-Out party. Found a Tesco and bought Marmite, normality is restored!
Overnight at a random petrol station
After getting stuck in a field for an hour, we met up with a Danish team and are now spreading the night at a petrol station.
We will find out if this was a bad idea in the morning :)

Harry, James and Tom are taking on the Mongol Rally!!!
To summarise:
17 (ish) countries!
15,000 Miles (there & back!)
1.0 litre engine!
35 days of madness, mishap and ultimately, Mongolia!
On the way we'll be promoting 'Cool Earth', a charity that works to preserve the rain forest for future generations. We hope to raise £1000 before we go to support this cause :)
Cool Earth is the charity that works alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction.
