The 17,374 ft we will be climbing over the 48 hours is just shy of summiting Kilimanjaro whilst the 988 miles we’ll be driving would just about get us to Warsaw.
Despite being up against the clock, we will of course take time to sample the nations favourite delicacy and tipple at the top of each peak.
If you're interested in helping out with event, we have two places left on the expedition, and are still looking for one more driver. Please email brad@themlambeproject.org to get involved.
We have set ourselves the ambition target of raising £5,000 from this challenge. We will be incredible grateful for any donation big or small. Thank you for you continued support and don’t forget to tick the give aid box!
The Mlambe Team.
