A team of fellow adventurers will undertake a transglobal overland Expedition  in the "Wolf", a specially built expedition vehicle. Driving from the UK across the channel to France, then heading eastwards through Europe and the Middle East, to south east Asia before shipping from Thailand to California in the USA.  From here the team will head down through Central America where the vehicle will be shipped to Western Africa before heading North to Spain and eventually arriving back at home after 12 months on the road.

"Visiting as many countries as possible along the way, altering the route to suit political climates, and circumstance.  We intend to take on some of the worlds greatest attractions. To visit Ankor Wat, Hike in Nepal, Stay with Tribes in the Jungles of Asia and South America, Camel trek in India, Dive with Sharks around the world and so much more. Our pictures and journals will be viewable on the website after leaving the UK in January 2007." - Daniel

Home Team - click here for a note on the home team

Nick Moylan BEng ARAeS(22) – Nick is the technical advisor for the expedition, as a student at University Of Bristol, studying for a Masters of Engineering in Avionic Systems, his expertise lie in communications and electronics.

Nick, a qualified pilot and full time lazy student, will not be joining the main expedition. But will lead the support team back home during the expedition. Maintaining publicity momentum, and liaising with foreign embassies as needed. His expertise will no doubt come in handy when it comes to obtaining sponsorship and equipment from high tech companies, when a more technical understanding is needed. He has also completed survival and leadership training with the RAF, which may be useful.

Oliver Moylan (20) - Oliver is our computer boffin, he is currently studying Media Production at Guildford College and therefore uses interactive technology alot.

Although Oliver makes "doing nothing" into an art form, he is very capable on all things computerised, and will do most of the editing of the website while we are away.  Hopefully over the next year he will develop the website further so that it will be a complete report of the Expedition.  We also hope that he will find time in his busy schedule for a haircut!

Amy Stubberfield BA (22) – Amy will help with, and be the main contact for the foreign embassies when gathering visas and carnet de passages for the team.

Amy is at the moment training to be a solicitor, and although a student, is far from lazy! She also will not be joining the main expedition but will be helping Nick with the home team, and keeping the Expedition updated with regard to changes in political climate amongst other things. She hopes to join the Expedition en route for a section of the trip, time permitting within her career plans.

Land Rover "Wolf" XD

The vehicle that will take us on Expedition is one of the rarest Land Rovers around, a Land Rover Wolf Defender, designed and built especially for Sir Ranulph Fiennes' Transglobal Expedition,  the vehicle has lain dormant since the cancellation of the original Expedition before 2000. Click here for the details of the Ranulph Fiennes Expedition.

As you will see the Wolf is very special indeed.  The Land Rover Global Challenge that it was originally built for was cancelled due to various problems. Making redundant some of the best overlanding vehicles ever built.  This Wolf being the lowest one of only seven built. When I picked it up in October 2005, it had only covered 6000 miles since its release from Land Rovers storage facility in 2003. 

The Wolf has a number of modifications to the design that are unique to the military spec.  These include a super strength "webbed" chassis, and a split charge 24 volt power system. These and many other special features will allow the vehicle to take on immense challenges without complaint.

The simple 300Tdi engine is far easier to fix than any modern engine, and should we encounter major engine trouble, parts and experienced mechanics will be more readily available.
