Over 40 days we drove 10,349.4 miles. We averaged 258.7 miles per day if you include all of the days of the Rally, or 312.7 miles per day if you only include days we made forward progress. (We had seven “rest days” which didn’t include forward progress.) Our most miles per day was 614.5, and our least miles per day on a day with forward progress was 70.4.
In Europe, we were averaging 361.1 miles per day, but by the time we got to Mongolia we were only averaging 195.3 miles per day because of the road conditions. We found out that it’s true what they say: When you drive the Mongol Rally, you drive Europe in fifth gear, Russia in fourth gear, Kazakhstan in third gear, and Mongolia in second gear.
We started our trip at Bodiam, located at longitude W00°18, on the west side of the Prime Meridian. We ended up at Ulaanbaatar at longitude E106°56, meaning that we traveled 106.74° longitude around the Earth; considering there are 360° longitude total, you could say we passed 29.7% of the globe.
Our northern most point on the trip was Bakovka, Russia, at N55°40, and our southernmost point of the trip was Bayankhongor, Mongolia, at N46°01.
Even though we’ve finished the Mongol Rally, we are still fundraising for our charity of Cool Earth until March of 2014! To donate to our fundraising campaign, click here or on the Cool Earth logo!
