IC Gradual Progress, consists of Ant, Rachel and Rory who
will all (hopefully) be Imperial College graduates by the time we leave.
We all met each other through Imperial College canoe club,
and have partaken in whitewater kayaking related escapades across the UK,
Europe and Morocco!
Antony - Team pilot
Ant is currently
finishing a degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial. As instigator of
the Mongol Rally idea he is to be condemned and congratulated in equal measure.
Ant is the only person in the team who has previously owned
a car (van) and has therefore been awarded the dubious honour being ‘the person
who knows about cars’
Ant can frequently be found piloting actual aeroplanes, I’m
not sure how this will come in useful in Mongolia but I bet it does.
Rory - Scottish representative
Rory finished a degree in Physics from Imperial in 2008, and
took the next logical step in studying technical theatre at RADA, about as far
from physics as you can get.
Having spent many years being driven around Europe by Ant
and Rachel (and others), Rory finally decided to pass his driving test. The
rest of the team are looking forward to him taking all the annoying driving
shifts in payback.
Rory can usually be found educating the locals on the finer
points of single malt whisky.
Rachel - Chief tea drinker
After 8 years at Imperial College, Rachel is finally
attempting to leave university and finish a PhD in Chemical Engineering. During
this time she spent many nerve-wracking hours teaching undergrads to drive
minibuses, if this hasn’t prepared her for Rory and Ant driving I don’t know
what will.
Rachel can usually be found in a quiet corner depleting the team’s
chocolate supplies
