Welcome to the Roof of the World Rally!
Taking great institutions to the world, what's a few mountains and the worlds second highest highway to stop us?!
Whats this all about then?
2007 saw an ice cream van drive from London to Mongolia. 2008 saw a multinational crew of adventurers cross deserts and mountains delivering hot cups of tea and ginger biscuits across continents. Now, for 2009, the Roof of the World Rally plans to take more great institutions to the world! From British afternoon tea to a Italian pizza, from a 1940’s Russian Lada to a Citroen 2CV – heres your chance to show the world your great institution! We depart in Summer 2009 from London, England headed in the general direction of Kurgan-Tyube, Tajikistan, in deepest, darkest Central Asia. In between lie the hottest deserts, the highest mountains and everything inbetween. So what are you waiting for? Jump in your banger, buckle up and hit the road!The Charity
This grand adventure is of course being undertaken for an awesome cause. SWORDE-Teppa. Based at our finishing point in Tajikistan. The English and Education Centre performs amazing work and runs brilliant projects, including teaching kids a variety of subjects and giving them a real headstart in life. The centre benefits greatly from any funds raised for them and any vehicles donated. Every year we are more blown away by the great work being done in very hard conditions, and no matter how small the donation or how knackered the car every little goes a long way.
