Hackney Good Wheelers: Eurasian Road Trip – Hackney to Mongolia
Monday 10 May 2010, 6:30pm
In the summer of 2009 three ASD people embarked on an epic 10,000-mile charity drive from London to Ulaanbaatar. The five-week journey took us and our trusted vehicle, Cindy, a 1.3 litre Subaru Justy, through 12 countries, eight time zones, along some of the oldest parts of the Silk Road via some of the least favorable road surfaces on the planet to the Mongolian capital.
The team consisting of Anna Crosby, Joni Steiner and Aleks Catina – the Hackney Good Wheelers – took part in the 2009 part of the Mongol Rally, a yearly event which supports the Christina Noble Children Foundation, a charity that works very hard and efficient to improve the lives of Mongolian street children.
This talk is a picture-show of this trip, introducing landscapes, people and situations we have encountered on the way. For all friends, architectural offices, supportive and generous individuals and firms who supported us and the cause this is a visual and informally narrated thank-you from the Hackney Good Wheelers, and the children who benefited from your support.
