We are taking bookings for our Chernobyl 2020 trip. There is an excellent series streaming now and can watched on NOWtv
You will notice changes to the website but the roadbook is also totally revised and have a look at the FAQ page which will be expanded week by week.
Not much news but I am pleased to say that the Mauritanian visa is now much cheaper than it used to be. No 2017 launch party as teams are too spread about but will look at a get-together in the Autumn or just visit me in Devon if passing!
It looks like all RHD cars ending in The Gambia will be taken further South by Old hands and we will donate the value of these cars and a bit extra to The Gambia so there is still funding for projects.
Sept tour to Chernobil filling fast to its max capacity of 14 people and enough interest in Baghdad on Dec 26th to make this a runner.
The price for a single entry visa from the Mali embassy London is £190, which is somewhat expensive.
The Mali Embassy in Nouakchott can issue a visa in as little as an hour, on a good day. Price 17 Euros.
Also: see http://www.horizonsunlimited.com which has an excellent Sub-Sahara forum section.
We are now ready to go with this years run to West Africa and depart the UK on Dec 26th with that evening in Calais. It is then 2 days drive to the rally hotel in Tarifa,Spain and the hotel is included in your rally fee. All groups (Mali,Mauritania and Gambia) leave together and only split up when you get to Mauritania. As ever, Gambia insists on LHDs while you are free to chose for other routes. No January run planned unless there is demand and if you drive the route in Jan 2017, I suggest to make a Malian music festival your finishing point. http://www.festivalsegou.org/ They will update their website in Sept 2016 with the lineup.
Apply now on the website.

Greetings!
Just to say the 2016 rally launch party is postponed due to a wedding I am going to on the usual weekend ( July 16 2016) Sorry!
There will be a fresh launch party location being the centre of gravity of all UK teams and date may be September 2016.
The original Banger Rally Challenge, that has spawned so many others. In December 2002, the first group of hopeful souls left the UK in a motley collection of vehicles, optimistically believing that Julian Nowill knew what he was doing, and had substance and experience behind his words. Despite later finding out to the contrary, this first event was a great success and most of the 42 Teams even made it to Banjul.
