The Mission


The Peking to Paris Rally is a recreation of the 1907 challenge issued by Le Matin, "Is there anyone who will undertake to travel this summer from Peking to Paris by automobile?"
The 2016 version will follow a route of 13,695 Km (8,510 miles) and take 35 days. We are travelling in Rhubarb and Custard, a 1936 Buick. We know nothing about cars or rallying.

Briefing



We spent the weekend getting a briefing at the Gaydon Motor Heritage Centre from Enduro - the Rally organisers.

A slightly shambolic British affair that ran through the route and logistics and included a session on how to use the Garmin GPS that will keep us safe across Mongolia.

In theory a chance to meet other competitors, and we did meet a few, but not the great bonding session one might hope for.

However, it has sharpened us up to get things moving and although we are quite far ahead in our planning it's time to start ticking things off the to do list - Action This Day!
