I'm Callum Morrison, a robotics/design engineer from Oxford, and in the summer of 2024, I'm embarking on the greatest motoring adventure on the planet * - The Mongol Rally, alongside my good mates, Jack van Galen, and Alberto Guerra Martinuzzi.

This entails driving our (t)rusty 1.2 litre
lunchbox from Oxford, UK all the way to east

The Mongol Rally has been an
annual event since 2004, raising money for

invasion of Ukraine. But this year it's back in
(almost) full force, and we're ready to take on
the challenge.

This was an expedition of epic proportions, and we have now
released our feature film showcasing the journey.
