Convoi Exceptionnel – A Mongol Rally Adventure 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 amongst 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.

Unquestionably Exceptionnel! Meet Alastair; adventurist, utopian, idealist . . .dreamer, and join him along with best friend Lee as they undertake the adventure of a lifetime. Circumventing over a third of the planet in a ridiculously underpowered 1995 Ford Fiesta, all in the name of charity. This tale of human endeavor has it all, drama, intrigue, romance . . . including the highs and lows of driving many thousands of miles through unfamiliar territory enduring frightening and possibly life threatening…

What a fantastic read! I can’t believe how much information this included about doing the Mongol Rally, A FULL COST BREAKDOWN, Kit List, Maps, Visa information and Wiring Diagrams! Along with that the writer sends us on an excellent journey day by day of the wonders and hardships of the Mongol Rally. Great writing style, I felt as if I was with you the entire way!

A rally must What a book! Such a great way to reminisce about one of the best adventures for those that have done the rally.A fantastic resource for those of you lucky buggers about to do the rally and have all those questions now answered.It also works well as a toilet paper for Baku port and the Caspian Sea ferry, or a bribe for warm beer/mystery meat.Fantastic job Ali and great to have been part of the adventure!
