INTRODUCTION 1. Between 14 July and 10 August 2012 the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards entered a team into the Mongol Rally under the team name ‘the Screaming Eagles’. The team completed the epic 10,000 mile race in 27 days, crossing the finish line in Ulaan Bataar in 30th place, out of field of 309 teams. Their participation is the first official Service team to enter the Mongol Rally in its eight year history. This PXR is an account of what happened and more importantly, a guide to those intending to repeat it in future years. THE MONGOL RALLY 2. The Mongol Rally has been running for eight years and is organised by ‘The League of Adventurists International’ http://www.theadventurists.com/the-adventures/mongol-rally , an events company based in the UK. The rally starts in Goodwood, Sussex and finishes in Ulaan Bataar, Mongolia. The only rules are that vehicles are either a car under 1200cc, a Service vehicle (e.g. 1 fire engine), or a motorcycle under 125cc. The route is up to the team and the timeframe is 4 -7 weeks. The aim of the rally is to provide a very demanding motorised endurance race at minimal cost, with teams using the opportunity to raise money for charity if they wish.
