A NEW BEGINNING

In the Spirt of adventurism we are back on the road with a 3500km race across India, Kerala in the South to Shillong on the far Northeast nestled in between Bangladesh and Bhutan in the foothills of the Himalayas. Our chosen vehicle is the hugely humble and very inappropriate Baja Auto Rickshaw.
With a whooping 149cc 2 stroke engine it's capable of only 55km, gradient and wind allowing. 
But its limited only by law to 45km. 
It does have breaks but they are in fact rubbish, considered inherent death traps and are only normally found and used in the cities, 

We'll be pushing ours to the limit and beyond. 


James Rutt Esq is Co-driver drive on this adventure as Mark Tuhill is on his own adventures in China

Wellcome aboard Mr Rutt




                                     Our route takes us through many terrains and climates

Lloyd (G) & James (T) pit them selves against india in this epic dash across the entire length of country. taking in Jungle, coast lines, cities and the foothills of the Himalayas!! what have they got themselves into here? With a NO bribe policy and an ever so mild disregard for driving enforcement this adventure is going to be a learning curve and smiling nicely while nodding enthusiastically. We will be taking on all India has to offer, in return we'll be taking Cricket and gin and tonic. this have never failed an englishman and we wont be letting the side down on this occasion!

Will they come back?
