In the final installment of our Mongol Rally series Harry and Alec share more stories about life on the road with us and explain how the Crystal Ball's mobile tracking app really came into its own.

We’ve caught up with Harry and Alec, the Adventurists who completed the Mongol Rally with the help of our MobileTrack Pro application, to find out more about their travels.  We interrupted the boys earlier this month as they arrived in Munich to sample the delights of Oktoberfest and luckily they were more than happy to share a few stories about life on the road…

The Crystal Ball team are always keen to make the daily grind a little easier and a little more fun, so when we received an unusual request from one of our customers we were keen to find out more.

KTwo Hire and Sales is a plant hire business in Burntisland, Fife, which uses Crystal Ball’s FleetTracker in 14 of its vehicles.  Alec Mitchell, the son of its Director Craig Mitchell, had recently graduated from Newcastle University and was planning to take part in the Mongol Rally long distance driving challenge with fellow graduate Harry Richardson.

Jermey Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond look out, your Top Gear road trips are about to look proper wimpy! That's because the No Turning Back team of Alec & Harry are about to start their engines and take off on the epic Mongol Rally!
