    A Rough Idea Where

    The Mongol Rally is supposed to be a challenge, not a guided tour. It's about getting out into the world and discovering it and it's many obstacles for ourselves; so the organizers, The Adventurists, resolutely refuse to give entrants a route. Think how much of a second rate adventure it would be if we all followed the same route, like a traffic jam all the way to Mongolia.

    This way, we might decide to head as far north as the arctic circle, or as far south as Afghanistan.

    One evening, measuring distances using match sticks (no, really), we decided on...
