Why are we doing this? For fun and for charity. We are raising money for the International Rescue Corp (<a href="index.php?mode=teamwebsites&name=team-popadom&page=charities">more info</a>).</font></div><div style="text-align: left"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"> </font></div><div style="text-align: left"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">We set off on the 15th of April from Cochin in the south of India, and (hopefully) will arrive somewhere in the north-east of India about 2 weeks later. Along the way we expect (ie are guranteed) to break down AT LEAST 1000 times, get lost about a million times, question why Fred doesn't like curry countless times, and most probably get Delhi Belly an handful of times. All in all its going to be amazing fun, challenging and rewarding. On top of which we hope to raise as much money as possible for the IRC, so please please please <a href="http://www.mycharitypage.com/TeamPopadom">sponsor</a> us and help this fantastic charity continue the important and life-saving work they do.</font></div><div style="text-align: left"> </div><div style="text-align: left"><strong><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2">BLOG</font></strong></div><div style="text-align: left"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><strong></strong>This is our blog which we will keep updated with news and happenings relating to our adventure.
