Norfolk 2 Benin 2cv Africa...The Return!!!
Welcome to our Blog! My name is Kell and in October 2012 my father and I will participate in The Touareg Trail 2012 to raise money for the charity, Parkinsons UK. This years Touareg Trail adventure will take us 6,000+ miles through Europe & Africa across challenging terrain over 5 weeks in a 602cc Citroen 2cv which we built together! Please support us...follow our adventure on this blog and join our facebook page!
In 2009 Dad and I completed 'Touareg Trail, The Hardcore Edition' and were crowned 'Most Hardcore Team at the finish! Check out ore 2009 blog: http://www.norfolk2benin.blogspot.com/
This year we will return!!!
The routes are mainly off road and in 2 parts...
Part 1: The Dakar Challenge: Starts in France and meanders across the Atlas Mountains of Morocco and the deserts of Mauritania to the legendary capital of Senegal: Dakar.
Part 2: Raid Afrique: From Senegal we travel via savanna and jungle routes of Mali, on to Burkina Faso and Togo to the white sandy beaches of the tropics in Benin. Twenty 2cvs are due to participate with only the minimum of support.
"Amazingly behind the steering wheels of these cars are not professional rally drivers, not Paris-Dakar drivers nor racing fanatics but ordinary people with one thing in common, an absolute passion for adventure in its purest form."
You can read more about the adventure(s) on the organisations official website: www.touareg-trail.be
