The Girls are up for a real challenge
Paula and Lizzie are taking on the challenge of driving 2000 kms in a 1950s style car across Southern India for Charity
Paula Day and Lizzie Willson are following in the footsteps of Princes William and Harry and are participating in a Global Enduro Road Challenge. Karma Enduro 2010 takes place in India to raise funds for two charities: Adventure Ashram and the UK's Rainbow Trust.
Driving 2,000 kms across Europe in a modern car is no challenge. Driving 2,000 kms across India's Western Ghat Mountain range and crossing the hazardous and diverse terrain of Goa, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in Southern India is not to be taken lightly.
And as if that isn't enough! How about doing it in a 1950s car. The 37 horsepower Ambi (like an original Morris Oxford). Then add elephants and other wildlife that have never read the Highway Code and the most chaotic road system on earth. And all in a country which most of us have no frame of reference for, and you begin to realise what a challenge this can be.
The Karma Enduro is not for the faint-hearted as it will challenge to the limits participants' awareness, commitment and spirit. Above all, it is not a race - the challenge is to complete the course in one piece.
The route includes ascending and descending high mountains, crossing fearfully hot and arid deserts, getting through crowded cities and remote forests. Just a day or two would be enough but driving these cars in these conditions for two weeks in 90 degree heat is a serious challenge of endurance, hence Karma Enduro.
This is a worthy cause so please give what you can
