Author Description

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.
