Anthony

Car Spotter, Mechanic and Head of IT

Anthony is undertaking 3 very important roles he is completely unqualified for, to enable the safe delivery of ‘The Eagle’ to Ulan-Ude via 17 Golf Courses.

With a background in technology and e-commerce, Anthony is confident that the solution to any mechanical problems and supplies shortages will be to order kit online to be shipped to the next check-point...let’s hope they don’t use snail mail!

Anthony Millet and Patrick Colquhoun are shortly to commence the Mongol Rally 2015, driving from London to Mongolia in a highly unsuitable vintage 1986 Porsche 944.

Most teams struggle to complete the challenge without the additional task of playing golf in every single country en route – are we mad?!

Our route will see us travel through up to 18 countries, covering some 11,000 miles and 18 rounds of golf. We will encounter some of the worst roads (not even sure you can call them roads), corrupt border officials, and undoubtedly many mechanical difficulties. We will also encounter some of the most incredible less trodden/visited parts of the world including the old silk road, the Pamir Highway, and some of the most generous and humbling people (will confirm on our return!).

Are we crazy – probably – and why the golf? Well we are both golf enthusiasts (but pretty poor ones, with a handicap of 18) – we figured seeing as we are going all this way, why not explore some of the worlds best golf courses – our route will see us take huge diversions to play them, and also involve us building the first course in Turkmenistan. The car has been heavily modified for the golf theme as you will see in the picutres!

Why are we doing this? Quite simply we are doing this to raise money for a fabulous charity – Broomwood in Ethiopia.

Broomwood in Ethiopia have set up and entirely funded St George's School Ethiopia providing education, meals, uniform and health checks to vulnerable young children, many of whom have been orphaned.

We are aiming to transform the lives of some of the children from this poor community. We have already held a successful fundraiser in London with over 200 guests but and in order to raise as much as possible we are also trying to build the profile of the adventure and charity through press coverage. To date we have raised over £23,000 online and offline.

We have been very lucky to have been supported by so many individuals and sponsors – all of who can be seen on our official website.
