Curried Away

Driving to Darjeeling in a deathtrap

Rickshaws

Imagine driving from London to Edinburgh. Imagine doing that journey on a dirt track rather than a motorway. Imagine doing it 10 times. Imagine doing it on a hairdryer with 3 wheels.

Rickshaw, vehicular genius

Now you know where we’re coming from.

Yes, our chiropractors are pre-booked ready for our return. We’ll be having the most uncomfortable 3 weeks imaginable, bumping along in our 7bhp rickshaws. They are fully 8 times less powerful than a 1 litre Fiat Panda.

We’ll need two of them to carry our team along, and face the amusing prospect of all piling into just one rickshaw…once the other one breaks.

Dressed up for luck
