Graham Lynn ask's me, Paul Slogrove, If I want to drive to Mongolia. I instantly knew what he was thinking of doing and I was in. The third member of our team is Chris Hale. He too often frequents the pub.<br /><br />I knew the Mongolian Rally was going to be tough, especially when you have 3 twenty somethings trying to arrange a 10k mile trip.<br />The first meet after our successful application for the rally was at the Black Horse. We all sat down, excited and eager, and dished out who was in charge of what! The list felt endless.<br /><br />The following week at the pub, we all sat down to realise no one had done anything! And that organising this trip was going to be like&nbsp;herding&nbsp;cats!<br /><br />Here we are a few months later... Entry fee paid and started raising money for our selected charities. Still , no car, no route, no sponsors and still&nbsp;undeterred.</div>
