Mongolian Monkey Madness... for Cool Earth!


It's that time of year again; Matt and I hop aboard two tiny, slow, poorly built motorcycles and (try to) ride across some inhospitable and dangerous terrain.

But this time, we're upping the stakes!

Your humble ̶a̶d̶v̶e̶n̶t̶u̶r̶e̶r̶s̶ idiots.

Morocco? Nah, too easy.

Just a little sandstorm in Morocco

Scotland? Walk in the park!

Excellent inter-island transport in Scotland

Mongolia... now that's more like it!

Ten days, two idiots on monkey bikes and a whole lot of Mongolian steppe, what could go wrong?

Perfect for a monkey bike

Like Scotland, this is a "Pioneer Edition," meaning this is the first time this level of wheeled stupidity has been tried, and like Scotland and Morocco, we're raising money for Cool Earth!

The Plan

As usual, there isn't much of one. We'll arrive in Ulaanbaatar on the 10th of September, head to the (as yet) undisclosed starting line on the 11th and after a few days of getting to know our mighty steeds and fellow lunatics, we'll be off on to the steppe!

The route might look something like this

Hopefully, around the 23rd of September, we'll emerge out of the wilderness and back into Ulaanbaatar.

As usual, you'll be able to track our progress (or lack thereof) online and expect to see plenty of photos of the madness on our socials!

The Charity

It is once again our pleasure to be raising money for Cool Earth. They are on the ground working with local and indigenous communities in the fight against climate change!

By directly working with these communities in the places that need it most, they empower people to protect not only the beautiful rainforests they call home but help to fight against climate change as a whole.
