The Mission


The Peking to Paris Rally is a recreation of the 1907 challenge issued by Le Matin, "Is there anyone who will undertake to travel this summer from Peking to Paris by automobile?"
The 2016 version will follow a route of 13,695 Km (8,510 miles) and take 35 days. We are travelling in Rhubarb and Custard, a 1936 Buick. We know nothing about cars or rallying.

Hats

We have an open top car so we need hats.

I've decided to take two, both supplied by Dents of London (see earlier posts):


First, a trappers hat for cold mornings and high mountains.  I've tested this in my convertible and it works a treat.  Also can be worn in bed.


Second, a drivers hat for keeping the sun off.  This one hasn't arrived yet and I'm not quite sure how it stays on if there's a wind blowing.  We shall see.
