News from Nick

Two LONGITUDE Expedition Certified Land Rover Discoverys fit into a single shipping container. We have four vehicles, so two containers are used to get them home.

These containers are 40 feet long, 7 1/2 feet wide. They are called "high cubes" because they're 9 1/2 feet high to accomodate the roof racks. (12035mm Long, 2340mm wide, 2274mm high)

"Good day.

We sincerely thank Noh HongJe of Transorient Shipping CO., LTD, Roman Sholokhov and Angela Kimball of Fesco, and Tatyana Ventslavovich of Transfes for such wonderful and professional service. These folks went out of their way to make all of the Magadan to Korea shipping arrangements. The LONGITUDE Expedition resumes from Anchorage Alaska on February 2, 2005. The homestrech drive to Irvine, California (leg 8!) concludes on February 25, 2005.(N.O.)


Help support our cause: The LONGITUDE Expedition is the longest journey ever attempted with a focus on Parkinson's Disease. The Drive Around the World team aims to raise money for Parkinson’s Disease research by driving four Certified, Pre-Owned Land Rover Discoverys around the globe following lines of longitude. Readers are encouraged to pledge small amounts of money per expedition-kilometer via a pledge form that can be found on our Parkinson’s page by clicking HERE. One hundred percent of donations received go directly to Parkinson's research, and all who donate $10 or more will be entered into a raffle to win an expedition-equipped Land Rover Discovery.
