After a really refreshing sleep in some nice beds for a change, we woke to cloudless sky and temperatures hitting 35°C; absolute paradise! However, when walking over to the car to see how it was doing, we found the circuit breakers in the charging point had tripped and the car was only at 25% state ...

It was an odd experience waking up with the Rinehart staff coming into work...it felt a little odd to say the least! I was sleeping on the sofa, and I remember waking up to Larry peering down at me and saying “Don’t mind me, you’re more than welcome to get some more shuteye!” This is ...

If you could imagine the least most glamorous place in the world, add to it some cold, damp weather, and that was the sight that greeted us upon waking up...a desolate downtown car park. But despondence didn’t last for long as Richard suddenly arrived on his bike with Claudio on the back carrying large quantities ...

Our fifth morning in Vancouver dawned just the same as every other; bright, blue and warm! However, today signified something quite new for the team. For the first time ever, we completed our first full country, and in true RGE style, this was the world’s second largest country! But before approaching the border, which was ...

As you may recall, we arrived in Vancouver quite late the previous night, and with the next few days travel-free, the team managed to get a good night’s sleep for a change. We woke up to the bright blue Vancouver sky with the faint smell of beach and sea in the air, so after a ...

Day 13 of our trip was a very special one for many people around the world as Spain conquered the Netherlands in the World Cup final. Toby, Andy and Pambo had woken up early to bear witness to this spectacle, and so it was just Nik, Clemens and myself standing guard over the RV and ...

After lastnight out, the first time the team had gone for a proper evening out, we needed a little bit more sleep than usual. Normally any sleep longer than a few hours is laced with guilt as we would far rather be driving and making progress than lazing around, but as the car still had ...

Apology: Dear readers, I must apologise for the lack of blog posts in the last couple of days! The last 96 hours has seen a lot of driving, little sleep, limited internet access, and a computer meltdown where I lost the blog posts I had written. But fear not! RGE is now back online, and ...

At Watson Lake the one charger we had left did not give us enough juice for our upcoming leg to Iskut, but having towed the car before on the way back from Paris to London due to a problem with the chargers, we discovered towing is actually a very good way to charge the car. ...
