RIVER CROSSING PART 1
"I've been a Wild Rover for many a year ........."
In April 2011, Shane Maguire, Daniel Lambert and Shay Cloherty began their attempt to drive a 1982 Land Rover from Dublin to Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Their route takes them through Southern Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and onto Mongolia. They reached their goal last week and are now on the 10,000 mile trip back on a more northerly route through Russia.
Why are they doing this momentous trip??
Firstly to raise money for two charities, Our Lady's Children’s hospital in Crumlin and The Christina Noble Foundation who have orphanage in Mongolia. Secondly to have as much fun along the way as possible and keep everyone updated with videos and photos!
Shane Maguire contemplating "Plan B" if the Land Rover packs up! A worrying picture as he is the mechanic on the trip!
All donations received are going DIRECTLY to the two causes and no money at all is being used to fund the trip. They would however love to speak to any companies/individuals who could support us with useful items such as GPS/Tyres/Parts for the Jeep etc,:
