Chris Shorrock takes on the Mongol Rally by Natalie Woods Mongol Rally adventurists travel thousands of miles each summer, across the mountains, desert and steppe of Europe and Asia. Sounds scenic, but it's hard work ... T his is a motoring adventure where you have to fend for yourself entirely, but you get to see the world on your own schedule. The rules to the event are simple: The vehicle you take can only be small-ridiculously so. You and your teammate have to go it totally alone and you have to raise £1000 for a charity of your choosing. To quote the Mongol Rally website: "B*11*ck$ to tarmac, ABS and gadgets that help you find your navel. The Mongol Rally is about getting lost, using your long-neglected wits, raising shed loads of cash for charity and scraping into the finish line with your vehicle in tatters and a wild grin smeared across your grubby face. Neither your car, nor your life, will ever be the same again." dentaltownuk.com \\ WINTER 2017 25http://www.dentaltownuk.com
