As part of the Land Rover 50th birthday
celebrations, we are attempting to visit 50
countries in just 50 days. And hopefully
raise over £50,000 for UNICEF at the same
time.
In total the challenge will cover over 18,000
miles, with four distinct legs and involve 50
Rover Group volunteers from around the
world.
Three Freelanders are making a small
convoy. In each Freelander, three people
share the driving, navigation and general
tasks. At the end of each leg there is a
change of personnel for a fresh teamLeg 1
