Hello there! My name is Gunther Van Den Brande and I'm living in Waarbeke, Belgium. At my place, I'm known under my nickname Ackou and I am an independent roofer, maried and we have 1 sun of 13 years old.
My main hobbies are diving, motorcycling and water skiin and for now, as brand new member of The Desertlions, I participate my first rally.
My name is Christel, 45 years, born in Ninove, married to Harleyrider and Rodeo-man Rudy. My job is postwoman, nickname "Witteken".
My role within the team Desert Lions exists mainly to gain as much sponsorship as possible .....
My name is Rudy, better known as "Plancke", I am a 46 years, born and raised in Ninove, married to Christel. And member of the Rodeo Club Poeier-Power.
I am a crane truck driver in Ninove (Belgium). In my free time you can find me in my favourite hard-rock saloon 'Peken'.
The most important asset, I know to persuade many sponsors to support our project and my "handy harry" qualities will be more than useful in the preparations and on the way.
It has been forty one years since I was born here in Ninove (Belgium), but I'am actually staying stuck in the 70s at last. Although I am baptized Alain but I am know as alias "the Strooien"
If I'm not on my engines, I'm usually working on them, and sometimes on my belly rear.Between Reykjavik and Moscow, and North Cape to Gibraltar, I along with Sabine did a lot of miles on our "Iron Horse". My hobby became my profession so I am working on motorcycles in the company "Van Rossom". If I want to get away from oil and exhaust fumes, then I throw my diving equipment in the sidecar and go for a refreshing dip in the lake.
This time I decided to invest my spare time and travel experiences in this project, in the children of Mongolia to support them in their struggle for a better future.
My name is Sabine I am also 42 years young. Because life is more than partying with my girlfriends at "Peken" I work as elderly assistant in Haaltert. Helping and taking care of People is in my blood and therefore I fully support this project.
12 July – Got lost getting out of Brussels – lunch in Namur, a old bargeport on the river – dried out the gear. Bought some diesel – 6 x 20litres +30l in the tank –E202.44 (NZ$388) – a pretty large fuel bill ***
