Arctic Talk to School Children

Armed with a host of photos and video, Mac described to the children what it is like to live and work in temperatures down to -50C. Having been on 4 Arctic expeditions and 2 military exercises when he served with an Arctic warfare unit in the British Army, Mac had many stories to pass on.

The second half of the talk was a practical demonstration of just how much clothing you have to wear to cope with the cold, along with the difficulties of sleeping inside not one, but four sleping bags systems. For this, children volunteered to be dressed up in the many layers of clothing, boots, golves and goggles, much to the delight of their fellow pupils. Full article >

Mac's latest article in Land Rover Monthly

Over the years, I’ve driven thousands of miles overseas, so I’m pretty clear as to what vehicle modifications are necessary and what are just ‘nice to have’. Extra spot lights and all-terrain tyres were obvious choices when planning to drive the full length of Africa non-stop, but others that were must-haves on our list included cruise control and tinted windows.

We would have a crew of 3 working around the clock, so reducing glare through the Discovery’s panoramic windows was a must. Trying to sleep in the back while the bright sun shone through the glass would be just plain uncomfortable, so heavily tinted windows needed to be fitted. If the passenger didn’t sleep properly, he would be in no fit state to drive and this then would become a safety issue. At night, the glare of headlights from following vehicles, through the rear and sides of the Land Rover would be greatly reduced as well. Full article >

Presentation to Land Rover Club

Mac, thanks again for your presentation. It was really interesting to see the history of the record and how it evolved to date. Your description of the build up and planning for your attempt was inspirational, and the trip itself sounded fascinating. There are already murmurs from club members wanting to get out there and explore. But don’t worry, your record will be safe from any of us! The club members who attended had great feedback, and as the pictures show, inevitably it came down to a bunch of people gathered around the open bonnet of a Land Rover, where the discussions continued for some time afterwards, which is what our club epitomizes.

The London to Cape Town driving record dates back to 1939, when Humphrey Symons and Bertie Browning, having driven off a bridge during a dark night in the Belgian Congo, coaxed their battered Wolsely 18/85 across Africa to the foot of Table Mountain. Even though both drivers and the vehicle were heavily bruised, they completed the 10,000 mile run in an incredible 31 days 22 hours and in doing so laid down the gauntlet for other adventurous motorists.

Since then, countless teams have tried to establish new records, but only four have been successful: Full article >

Max Adventure fund raising reaches £31,206!

Back in 2008, the Max Adventure team undertook the challenging 3 Peaks Challenge using a double decker bus to race between the 3 mountains of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. That project, also in aid of Help for Heroes, raised a whopping £22,367 in just 2 weeks of fund raising!

Combining both projects together and including Gift Aid, the Max Adventure team have now raised a respectable £31,206 for Help for Heroes. This money will be used to help those soldiers affected by the horros of the conflicts that this country finds itself in. Full article >
