My Mongolia Charity Rally website is up and driving

Just in case you weren't aware....

We have an official site for the Mongolia Charity Rally, which has a blog, photos, news of our sponsors and route and a whole host of other fascinating tit bits of information.

We'll be updating from the road via text message as well, so definitely keep an eye on the rally blog from 10 July.

Cheers!
