How much is this costing you?
Sorry can't read the blog - blocked at work
Defo something I'd LOVE to do.
Scary if I think about it, but not realy going to know till we get home late August Early September.
I'll roughly break it down, very rough. 2 in our team so some costs are shared. more in your team the cheaper but more cramped it gets.
£714 - team place -shared between 2
£695 -Visas but we have 6 of them, per person
£900 - car - shared between 2
£400 -car upgrades and insurance etc shared between 2
£100 - life insurance per person
£1350 - car deposit month before we leave refundable on return ? shared
£200- bits of kit, misc stuff - shared between 2
£1000 - got to raise for charity as part of sign up deal, done already
+ - whatever our fuel, living costs are going to be for 5-6 weeks while on the road.
Take into consideration that we have already raised our £1000 for charity otherwise we'd still have to pay it. And £900 raised towards the cost of the car which is donated to charity at the finish, we have a few kit sponsors lined up and have had gear donated as well. Our accommodation and travelling expenses are coming out of our own pockets for the trip, but no idea what its going to cost in places like Kazakhstan Mongolia etc.
it's not going to be cheap but sponsors can help out where certain gear is needed, and it is potentially 6 weeks away from home so I've saved money that I'd normally go on holiday with anyway.
Should be on next year again, get it sorted and get it done with a few good mates.
