Mad Way South Kite Buggy
Mad Way South is a trans-Tasman challenge like no other - man and machine pitted against the harshest environment in the world at the end of the Saharan Summer - Two Aussies and Two Kiwis racing in Kite Buggies across 2,500 km of the worlds toughest terrain to claim the title of the first to cross this desert by wind power alone.
The brain child of adventurer Geoff Wilson, this wind powered odyssey began as a challenge and evolved into a race with the inclusion of the Kiwi team - Steve Gurney and Craig Hansen. Garth Freeman completes the foursome of mad wind-driven men set to start racing from Northern Morocco on August 3rd 2009.
The purpose for the Mad Way South Sahara Challenge is to raise awareness and funds for the “SHE Rescue Home – Cambodia”. Mad Way South will also be a forum for road testing and demonstrating the effectiveness of survival and outdoor equipment, promoting eco-friendly, carbon neutral travel.
The boys leave on the 27th of July and you can follow their progress by checking out their website.
