Convoi Exceptionnel: A Mongol Rally Adventure by Alastair Bruce Cameron Pdf

A group of scruffy lunatics and their under powered but valiant vehicles navigate ⅓ of the globe, attempting a journey conceived by people who have heard of the words ‘stupid’ and ‘dangerous’ but haven’t really understood their meaning. Setting off from various points across the globe, Teams: Away From Keyboard, Don’t Smell My Shoes, Two Fake Yanks and a Scot, Rally McRally Face, Mini Adventurers and Cunning Stunts unite to create Convoi Exceptionnel Could a Mongol Rally Convoy be better named? The convoy was largely formed in Calais UK where the aforementioned lunatics easily spotted each other via their glorious car decorations which included smelly old shoes and garden gnomes among others. Little did the people in this blossoming group know of the horrors and wonders, the friendships and hardships that lay before them as they attempted to drive through 19 countries, over 10,000 miles to Mongolia. The journey was long and perilous but they were Exceptionnel.

Mongol Rally - Three weeks into the unknown by JOHN IRVING Pdf

It was a gruelling adventure and an epic challenge. On the face of it, all we had to do was get from London to Mongolia. But looking deeper it was going to be a lot less simple than it had first appeared. We had minimal planning, bought a horribly underpowered car that was fit for scrap, had no external support, no prior expedition experience or survival knowledge and decided to do it all in the name of charity. We only allowed ourselves three weeks to complete the adventure. I hadn’t even heard of half of the countries we were intending to cross and certainly didn’t speak the languages but we’d go for it anyway and see how things turned out. It couldn’t be that hard after all.Here’s my account of how it happened, what we came across, the scrapes we got into and how we got out of them and a selection of the numerous photos I took on the 9,592 miles to Mongolia. Some experiences defied belief, some were mildly terrifying but there are none that I will ever forget.

Mongol Rally 2016 by Richard Horton Pdf

In summer 2016 Team Rub-a-Dub-Dub Three Men and a Tub embarked on the greatest motoring adventure in the planet, the Mongol Rally. With no backup, no support and no set route, the three intrepid explorers thought "B*llocks to tarmac, ABS and gadgets that help you find your navel, it's time we ventured into the unknown". Follow the epic journey of Alex, Caleb and Rich along with Marigold, their 1997 Gold Nissan Micra, and Bilbo, the world's most well-travelled bathtub, as they drive to Mongolia and back again in 71 days. Read about strikes, trikes and mosquito bites; Potter, squatters and weather that gets hotter; horses, street auctions and their favourite tomato pasta sauces; and cheap fuels, eagles and dealings that were downright illegal. The scenery wasn't half bad either. They stared hell in the face, drove their hatchback up the Wakhan's yak track and steppe'd out across the Mongolian plains into the Land of the Eternal Blue Sky. 18,000 miles, 25 countries, 5 mountain ranges, 4 convoy cars, 3 deserts, 2 ducks and 1 Golden Nissan Micra. If nothing goes wrong, everything has gone wrong. Neither their car, nor their lives will ever be the same again.

Borders, Bandits, and Baby Wipes by Bassam Tarazi Pdf

Inspired and challenged by his quests of “getting there,” Bassam Tarazi and two friends signed on for the infamous Mongol Rally, a nearly 10,000-mile road trip from London to Mongolia through terrain that would make a mountain goat’s knees buckle, in a vehicle that was little more than a go-kart. Borders, Bandits, and Baby Wipes is Tarazi’s incredible tale of what comes with life on the go and off the map. It’s a dive into cultures and cop cars, big thoughts and meltdowns, and what it means to be human while covered in a constant sheen of awe and grime. Borders, Bandits, and Baby Wipes is a story about the kind of adventures we all said we’d have one day but never do. It’s about a world beyond our expectations, and our place in it.

The Rejection of Consequentialism by Samuel Scheffler Pdf

In contemporary philosophy, substantive moral theories are typically classified as either consequentialist or deontological. Standard consequentialist theories insist, roughly, that agents must always act so as to produce the best available outcomes overall. Standard deontological theories, by contrast, maintain that there are some circumstances where one is permitted but not required to produce the best overall results, and still other circumstances in which one is positively forbidden to do so. Classical utilitarianism is the most familiar consequentialist view, but it is widely regarded as an inadequate account of morality. Although Professor Scheffler agrees with this assessment, he also believes that consequentialism seems initially plausible, and that there is a persistent air of paradox surrounding typical deontological views. In this book, therefore, he undertakes to reconsider the rejection of consequentialism. He argues that it is possible to provide a rationale for the view that agents need not always produce the best possible overall outcomes, and this motivates one departure from consequentialism; but he shows that it is surprisingly difficult to provide a satisfactory rationale for the view that there are times when agents must not produce the best possible overall outcomes. He goes on to argue for a hitherto neglected type of moral conception, according to which agents are always permitted, but not always required, to produce the best outcomes.

"See Ya Later Shit Lords!" by Edward Blackwell Pdf

This is a collection of the blogs that were written every day whilst undertaking the Mongol Rally, with my school friend Mikey, in the summer of 2016. These blogs are a frank and truthful account of what it is like to spend five weeks on the road in a tiny red car, travelling over 10,000 miles, across a third of the world's surface, through 20 countries. The Mongol Rally is one of the toughest adventures in the world and this book gets you to the highs and lows as if you were in the passenger seat. The rally wasn't just about travelling the world. The pair managed to raise over £2000 for three charities: Cool Earth, The Back Up Trust and The Max Levene Trust. This Was helped by many sponsors, who took pride of place on the exterior of the little red car. Fletcher's Solicitors were the main contributors, more sponsors are given in the book.
