I am absolutely fascinated by these two seemingly nutty ladies from Brighton, England. Jo Huxster and Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent ("Ants") have embarked upon one helluva journey, using one helluva means of completing it. Jo & Ants will be driving from Bangkok to Brighton (roughly 10,000 miles) on a hot pink tuk tuk, which they had custom built for this trip (they've named her "Ting Tong"). In case you were curious about how the heck they were planning to get from Bangkok to Brighton, here's the route map which is featured on the official "Tuk To The Road" site. You can also keep track of their progress via the Tuk To The Road blog which Jo and Ant have been doing a pretty darn good job of updating, considering they're going through some pretty remote places. Also, there is a point to all of this: Jo and Ant are hoping to raise 50,000 pounds for the mental health charity, MIND. Good luck ladies!
