Jaisalmer, India
team SWAT have made it, a respectable 25th place and drove the whole way. Last drive was interesting especially when we broke down with 100km to go and nobody around for miles. Grateful we have got to the end and are looking forward to relaxin over the next few days and even more so not gettin lost at 6am from following team 'we aint lost' haha. Well done lads. Over and out. Team SWAT.@
Rajasthan, India
it's been a miracle. First day of the whole trip that we haven't had a breakdown. Well other than wesley who is suffering. We completed 230km to get to jodhpur from pushkar and have now left ourselves with just one day of driving left. Touch wood. Have found a lovely hotel to stay tonight. Everybody seems happier now the end is insight. Had a lovely meal at uncle sams. Dominos has so much to learn. Over and out until tomorrow. Team swat.
Uttar Pradesh, India
after a few days of breakdowns and repairs we can now say we have crashed an Indian wedding, ridden a elephant and can now finally stop the rickshaw. Wesley is feeling the effects of the 4:30 wake up calls, Angus is getting annoyed that people still think we are a taxi even with a 4ft blow up sheep on the roof and thurman is still suffering with a chesty malaria cough and has been relegated to the rough rack with seymour the sheep. Can team swat be the only team who have parked their rickshaw in the lounge of the hotel next to the sofas.
Uttar Pradesh, India
after a full gearbox and clutch rebuild at the cost of £8 we made our way to Allahabad fir the night. We had an early start to begin our journey to Kanpur after many breakdowns we finally made it to a warm shower and somewhere to do laundry. Happy days. Team SWAT.
Bihar, India
after a couples of days of tag team driving due to knackered gear box we reaching the end of Bihar. After 3 days we have already experienced the Indian bull run, Bihar bandits, armed police and team we ain't lost getting us lost. So much more to come.
