About the challenge

The “Curry on Rickshaw”  team are Tim Higham and Jim Rook and we took part in the inaugural  ‘Rickshaw Run’ - a challenge to drive an auto rickshaw across the Indian Subcontinent from Cochin in the far South to Darjeeling in the far North near the Himalayas in just two weeks.  This task was designed to be nearly impossible and was certainly hard especially for our increasingly tired bodies. Two weeks, over two thousand miles on questionable roads over barely passable terrain through jungles and tea fields and over the odd mountain to boot, sleeping wherever and whenever we can.

We raised a huge amount of money through very generous friends and family.  The rickshaw and money is being distributed and doing wonderful things.  It is being managed by Mercy Corps:
