The Mongol Rally is now over and those wayward adventurers Ben, James and Mikey have completed their gargantuan journey across half the world. They will take home countless fond memories, and let’s face it if they are still friends after 12,000 miles in a matchbox car they will be friends for life.

James has posted the below humorous list of the ‘stats’ of their journey, with a thank you message for the support from their sponsors.

We will be posting more about our time in Mongolia soon but with the Rally now over we would share some of the numbers that have governed our experiences over the last two months or so.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us.

Enjoy xxx
