Arctic Navigation Rallye
I know it's not Cobra related but enough people in the club have asked me how they can follow me so I thought I would put it on here.
For those that don't know, I will be competing in an Arctic Navigation Rallye from The Netherlands to the Arctic and back, 7,000 klm in 7 days. We will be going through Russia this time. I only know that because a special Visa is required for us to go through Russia and we had to get that before we left. Information on the Rallye can be found here Navigate North | Een ijskoud spektakel There is a live map that shows where all the vehicles are at all times. This is a link to our facebook page that we will be putting some updates on. https://www.facebook.com/TeamVerstralershop?ref=hl There is also an app for iPhone users, navNorth - is what you have to search for or you won't find it. It has live updates every 60 seconds OH and if you like I can give you fuel price updates?????? |
Sounds Good, Towy.
|
You will have to wrap up warm if you are taking the Cobra :p
|
And remember that Vodka is an effective mouth wash for during those 700hr periods without showers available.
|
Just out of interest Towy, i would be interested in fuel prices in Russia and up where you are going.
Cheers Tomcat. |

Ok guys a quick update.
Currently about 30 mins from the Russian border on the Latvian side in the vicinity of Karsava. Been driving for 25 hours so far with about 7 or so to go. A little video from 5am today in Poland. http://youtu.be/8g79wNrqyTI |
That's pretty cool Ash.....lucky boy.
|
I wasn't sure if you were going to spring another language on us. Hopefully your navigator speaks English!
|
good luck ASH
may the vodka keep you vorm !!! I wonder if the navigator's name is ivan |
Currently in Finland at 62.60041,29.77503 just type that into your Google search box and it will show you where. 17:22 and it has been dark for hours, good news is we will have a hotel room tonight.... At some point in time.
Our first day was 32 hours and 2800klm... One car wasn't able to enter Russia so had to turn around & head the back way to Finland through Estonia... Other guys spent 5 hours at the Russian border.... We persuaded 'cranky biatch' to let us through... In an hour. |
Does she have your phone number now Ash?
|
Update:
Just checked into a Hotel in Lapland for two nights. Dog sledding and some ice rally driving tomorrow, should be fun. Coordinates are 68.42140, 27.42652 just type it exactly like that into Google & u will see where I am. One of the contestants caught the very edge of the snow o the side of the road & ended up on his roof in a creek... 4 month old ML350... Snow can bite! |
Nice to see you in a nice safe XC90 Ash, it mustn't be a race....our's wouldn't pull the skin off custard:)
What's the rest of the story? How did you end up there, work related I 'spose?:rolleyes: |

Ok the Rallye is all done and dusted and I'm currently in Whistler for a little snowboarding with my cousin who lives there (free accom).
We finished 5th in the Rallye which isn't too bad considering we were 16th after the first day. |
