Welcome

Welcome to the Adventure Network blog. This site is intended so that people can share their adventures, big or small, with other like-minded people.



It is my intention to post topics on this site in order to provide people with ideas and inspiration to plan and undertake their own adventures.

The Mongol Rally


The annual Mongol Rally, started this week, with 311 teams setting out on the ultimate road trip adventure. They'll drive across Europe and Asia, on the 10,000 miles adventure, in everyday vehicles, before crossing the finish line in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

224 teams set off from the U.K. on Saturday, while another 86 set off from the Czech Republic. All of the teams will have to tackle grueling deserts, snow capped mountains, and remote unsurfaced tracks and roads as they race to be the first to reach the Mongolian capitol.

Whilst everyone taking part in the event will be experiencing some fantastic adventures they will also be raising money for this year's charity  Christina Noble Children's Foundation, which is based in Mongolia. The CNCF is dedicated to helping improve the lives of underprivileged children living in developing countries, and are hoping that years rally will raise more than £400,000 pounds for their cause.
