Above: Steve Burgess crossing the Bering Straits in his Land Rover!!! Editor: Tony Pritchard Assistant Editor: Carol Pritchard EDITORIALAfter an unexpected stay in hospital (further complications after my cancer removal operation), we still hope to enter the "Landy Rally" to raise awareness for our sister website: www.aid4cancer.co.uk - further details about this worthwhile event, see the panel on the left. Although it does depend on what my specialist eventually advises. We're looking for a male or female co-driver (over 25 for insurance purposes), who can also help to raise funds. Call me on 07855 462591, 01978 753164 or email:tony@aidventures.co.uk
Tony Pritchard  Yes, we're using this dual fuel (petrol/LPG) 1988 Range Rover Efi... which probably won't look much like this before long...(Yes it does, 'cos I haven't done anything to it yet! - Ed!)
SIBERIA 4X4 WINTER CHALLENGE  As part of our "Aidventures" (www.aidventures.co.uk) charity fundraising efforts we are considering organising a Winter Challenge for 4x4s in the wilds of frozen Siberia during 2008/09. It will be a low entry fee (to cover expenses), but you'll need to raise lots of cash for charity! If anyone's interested, drop us an email... VLADIVOSTOK CHALLENGE 2009  In conjunction with Aidventures www.aidventures.co.uk and Aid4Cancer www.aid4cancer.co.uk we are considering organising a "Challenge" to Vladivostok, via Kazakhstan (shown above - picture courtesy of Virtourist.com) and possibly Mongolia for 2009. It will be open to all cars and 4x4s and the entry fee will be kept low (to cover expenses), but you'll have to raise tons of cash for charity! Email me if you're interested... GET UP & GOBI  There's a crew of three currently driving across Europe to Russia, Once in Russia, their goal is to drive 6,000 miles across the country to Mongolia. In Mongolia they rendezvous with a parallel expedition and travelling across the Gobi desert for 4 weeks. They want to raise both awareness and at least £5,000 for the British Red Cross and once they have achieved these goals, they will have travelled through 10 countries, across 8 time zones and covered roughly 7,000 miles. Click on the "Get Up & Gobi" tab on the left to learn more...  TRAVELLING OVERLAND TO ASIA?Have a look at www.nessiesadventures.com where you can follow Dave and Rose's overland trip through Iran to Asia and back via China and the Stans and gain plenty of useful information. They decided on a web page as a means of sharing maximum information with future overlanders, and in the hope of meeting up with other vehicles to share certain parts of the route for safety reasons - particularly the Zahedan (Iran) to Multan (Pakistan) roads.
