This is the story of an independent trek in a 50-year-old Mini – all the way to the Great Pyramid and back – with no assistance or support crew, to provide much needed funds and publicity for the Willow Foundation. Inspirational to others, the book includes practical advice on the car preparation and documentation required for such marathon drives, along with photographs of the Mini’s preparation and the amazing journey itself.

Follow the inspiring trek of author Nicola West as she drives her 50 year old Mini through three continents and ten countries to assist the Willow Foundation help children devastated by life threatening disease. Her sponsored journey, a lone expedition without a support crew and through potholes and sandstorms is a 6,800+ miles never-done-before drive across North Africa and the Middle East. This book is an incredible read.
