Mongol Rally - London to Moscow

We had our camera nicked in Moscow, so huge thanks to our friends Dan and Toby of Team Fido for the majority of these pics!

Jay's class and kids wave Team Scraz off from Westfield school. Our tyre sponsor Andy Dowsett is pictured next to Jay. Dave grins from ear to ear.

Lined up in Hyde Park at the launch - our car Sammy the Samara on the right, with Fido's 'Mel' on the left...

Our friends Toby and Dan of Team Fido.

Our first proper camp - in a field outside Wrocklaw in Poland with Fido. Combines worked the fields yards from us and families with dogs watched from their houses.

Fido catch us charging through Latvia with the Moon Unit behind, en route for the Russian border.

Camping up a sandy lane a few miles into Russia with Fido and the Moonies. The border crossing only took us two hours!

Drama on the road to Moscow. The Moonies mis-time an overtake and end up in the ditch. Friendly cops are soon on the scene and a passing truck pulls 'em out!

A Moonie in the living room of our apartment. Groovy chandelier in every room...

Team Scraz pose beneath the lysergic towers of St Basils' Cathedral, Red Square.

Jay strides purposefully towards Lenin's Tomb...

Our 'official' Rally Launch photo - many thanks to Tim Stonton of World Wide Images for kindly giving us permission to use it!

Dave looks on aghast as Buffman sprays our car with wasp-attractant.

Bizarre and freaky bone sculpture stuff at the ossiary known as Church of Bones near Prague.

The view from our window at the rather lovely Hotel Daniela in Kaunas Lithuania. German tourists eye our vehicles in disbelief.

Miles of parked-up trucks announce the approach of the Russian border. Apparently some have to wait weeks to cross!

Toby swings the bugminton racket as Jay, full of mystery painkillers for his broken tooth, stares blankly at the roof of the car...

Jay with Sammy outside our swanky apartment in the middle of Moscow.

Dave contemplates a droll entry for our road journal in the kitchen...

Fido with Pavel (right), our main man in Moscow, major Russian Toffee and leader of 'Pavel Tours'. Pavel, we of Team Scraz salute you!

Dave with the Russian Toffees. We met Yuri (left) again in Ulan Ude. These people were absolute stars and showed us the meaning of Russian Hospitality. And they liked a drink. Oh yes.
