Three mates are challenging themselves to drive 10,000 miles from Burton to Mongolia to raise money for a children’s charity ... in a 10-year-old car.

Samuel Ellis, 24, from Tutbury, and his two university pals Sally Tyldesley and Sam Crosland, both 23, will be taking part in the Mongol Rally 2010 on Saturday.

The threesome will be raising money for The Christina Noble Children’s Foundation.
