Summary of Day 1 Engine on: 11.30am Engine off for night: 20:30 KM travelled: 280 Issues / breakdowns: Windscreen wiper stopped working, easily fixed Challenges: night-driving. What an epic introduction to the Rickshaw Run! The race started at 11.30am after group photos and once everyone was ready. 'Kash-mir if you can' (our new UK mates) and us ('Wellywood BYC Club') set off for Jodhpur which is approximately 280km away. Everything was going well until the...

4 days and 5 nights have gone by very quickly and we're on our way for an epic adventure! We arrived in the evening on the 1st after a flight from Delhi and a 4 hour drive from Jodhpur. On the drive we were introduced to driving in India with plenty of driving on the wrong side of the road and avoiding cattle. We settled into our accommodation and enjoyed some curry and a Rajastan vegetable dish with a view of the Jaisalmer Fort. Very nice! That evening we found ...

Only risky behaviour was Van walking in the cycle lane and having to ride the trains without a ticket as the machine had run out of paper (we'd paid though!). Highlight was lea...

KIRUNA Day 1 - Thursday 26 March We arrived to a gloriously sunny and blue-skied day in Kiruna.

As we have no SIM cards nor GPS, we received some detailed instructions to find our cabin out in the wopwops. We mostly just chilled out in the arvo, walked around the surrounding area and had a long jump competiti...

Last day in Norway and boy it's been a busy couple of weeks! Aside from finalising stuff at work and packing we've had a surprise leaving party, client engagement dinners (which invariably were quite boozy affairs), leaving cake and rap (Van's idea, but it went down well), Cricket World Cup quarter and semi finals (which NZ won, boom!), guests from the UK and the Dam for the last weekend where we went cross-country skiing and hiking up to Pulpit Rock in the snow ...
