Hi Guys,
FROM YORKSHIRE TO MONGOLIA ON A QUAD!
The name is Scarecrow57 (aka Carole) from the name you should take it that I am female, I am 51 years old (going on 15)......a divorced ex farmer, currently living in North Yorkshire..........Oh my God, from my introduction this is beginning to sound like I am looking for a partner................ no, this is not correct at all, but I do need your help...........

Why do I need your help, well, for the last 2 months I have been planning an overland roadtrip to Mongolia and China in aid of three charities Cancer Research, Womens Rural Refuge Retreat, and the brain injury charity Headway Teeside......in the last 2 months I have raised £3000 towards the trip but I would much prefer to donate these cash monies direct to the three charities and as a challenge try and get all the equipment required for the trip donated.............and this is where you guys come.........'cause I have decided that I what I would like to do is this 365 day roadtrip on a quad bike.........yes you did read that correctly........a quad bike!.......(I warned you I was 51 going on 15!)

So basically ladies and gentlemen I am in desperate need of sound advice..........which quad would you recommend?..........do you think a quad could tackle this sort of trip?...........do you know of anyone who has done anything similar before?........and finally, (and most importantly) does anyone have a quad that they would like to donate to what I feel is a very worthwhile cause???

A few details of the trip so far.............all equipment will hopefully be donated or sponsored..............in each region/country I will be donating a weeks volunteering work to a like minded charity to those that we are supporting back here in the UK............the aim is to raise at least £33000 ( but I am sure we would not complain if it was in excess of that figure!)........so far all the food and accommodation for the whole roadtrip is very kindly been donated by over 200 world members of www.couchsurfing.com.......I am in the process of setting up a website for all those that are or will be involved to keep a track of the trip...........(as I have published before it makes common sense to obviously write a book of the whole adventure upon my return)...................the set off date is 27th December 2009

So guys can you please help in some way?......... all advice, donations, sponsorship, etc would make this roadtrip for all those involved something to be really proud of...........

Warmest regards

Scarecrow57

May I thank you for reading thus far, and should you wish to contact me direct please do not hesitate to email me............
