Having spent an accumulative 14 years in the Oxford bubble, culminating in a combined 20 job rejections, we thought we'd have more luck taking on the Indian subcontinent than our previous assault on the City.
With the prospect of limited time before the inevitable crawl back to join the rat race, we decided to embark upon a doubtlessly idiotic and certainly stupid adventure traversing the length of the Indian west coast.
Moreover, in the spirit of cultural engagement, we thought it would only be apt to partake in such a journey via rickshaw, or two. Meet a three week adventure - where five mechanically inept friends try to tackle the Indian west coast with no support and no idea how to even change a tyre.
With no India experience between us we sought opinions from our more well-travelled peers. However, when the wisest Indian traveller of them all promptly said 'You'll die' we decided if this was to be the case, we may as well make some money for charity whilst doing it...
To this end, we are supporting a charity very close to the team, Broomwood in Ethiopia, which provides schooling to underprivileged and orphaned kids. If you haven't already done so (shame on you!), please consider giving a donation on our Just Giving page.
We'll be heading off at the end of December and completing our route (hopefully!) by the end of January. We've set up this lovely little blog so our friends and family can follow our every move throughout the whole adventure - oh you lucky things!
Once again, please give generously - we will love you forever!
