Peking to Paris 'Greatest Motoring Adventure'


Afghan Trust supporter Peter Little and his brother David will drive a splendid 1930 vintage Bentley almost 9,000 miles on the classic rally from Peking to Paris, hailed as the 'Greatest Motoring Adventure' of all.

First driven in 1907, the route follows the old Silk Road from China through Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekhistan, Turkmenistan, Iran, Turkey and Europe. This is only the fourth rally, due to political barriers through the years.

His epic journey will pass to the north of Afghanistan, where the Regiment will be deploying for Herrick 13. Peter wishes to acknowledge the soldiers of The Parachute Regiment and show his support for the Afghanistan Trust by inviting donations through his blog site.

The start is 10th September, 107 cars will be competing and they hope to finish by 16th October. We wish Peter and David safe driving and a superb experience.
