Driving 2,000 kms across Europe in a modern car is no challenge. Driving 2,000 kms across India's Western Ghat Mountain range and crossing the hazardous and diverse terrain of Goa, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in Southern India is not be taken lightly.

And if that isn't enough! How about doing it in a 1950s car? The 37 horsepower Ambi (like an original Morris Oxford). Then add elephant and other wildlife that have never read the Highway Code and the most chaotic road system on earth.

The Karma Enduro is not for the faint-hearted as it will challenge to the limits participants' awareness, commitment and spirit. Above all, it is not a race - the challenge is to complete the course in one piece.

The route includes ascending and descending high mountains, crossing fearfully hot and arid deserts, getting through crowded cities and remote forests. Just a day or two would be enough but driving these cars in these conditions for two weeks in 90 degree heat is a serious challenge of endurance, hence Karma Enduro.

BLS would like to thank the following organisations who are supporting Patrick's charity drive. Please take the time to visit their websites.
