Greetings from Krakow, Poland! It's been a hectic few days and we promise to bring you all up to speed when we next have internet access in another day or so. In the meantime, here's some photos from the start in London to wet your appetites....

Armed with an Australian flag, ironing board and ready to go!



Cheers to Mel & Phil who bought an Australian flag blanket all the way from Sydney to London and farewelled us on our way! Thanks also to Ceil, Mel, Larry & Lloyd for being our official farewell crew!


A big thank you once again to our sponsors, AD Events, All Marketing Projects and Outdoor Kit


Team 'Sheilas Wheels' from northern Ireland - who generously swapped rachet straps with us after they watched Karen crunch her knuckle on ours to produce the first team injury for the rally. We guess the saying really is true - no pain, no gain!


The crew from the P&O ferry were fantastic - they sent us on our way with a British naval flag, and have written along the back of our car 'Anything Ewan & Charley can do, you two can do too!' Awww...... thanks guys! (...they also wrote 'this side down' on our shovel... cheeky...)


One of our favourite teams! These two guys are true Mongol Rally professionals who put the rest of us to shame. They have set off with no maps, but armed with tailored suits, top hats, tennis whites and a photo of the Queen. Legends.


Looks like this vehicle has ignored the one-litre engine rule - and we applaud them for their efforts! Goodluck getting to Mongolia guys!


Enid the Emu - our team mascot - very popular for keeping the kiddies entertained when their parents pass us by on the motorway!


Until our next time, we'll leave you with our best emu faces for now....
