Day 2 of test driving on our spanking new event – Rickshaw Run Northeast – saw Mr Doc Millne taking a moment of contemplation on his exceedingly wise life choices.

There`s nothing quite like being stuck in some mud on a remote mountain to get the ol` grey matter ticking.

A new dawn in India. And no, we`re not talking about the sunrise, though that did happen today, thankfully.
No no, we`re talking about the pioneer`s edition of a brand new event – Rickshaw Run Northeast.

As chief guinea pigs, it`s their job to ensure it`s as daft as we think it will be.
This corner of India is way off the beaten track. Many places don`t even have rickshaws, plus, there are some mountain thingys in the way – perfect when you have an engine the size of a postage stamp. What could possibly go wrong?

Each day we`ll feature our favourite photos from the teams, starting with this lot. Crowned by our favourite from James Mikkelson – five times Adventurists veteran.

Our final selection from the road yesterday. Topped off by this one from Ms Sophie Bradbury from "The Animals".

Tea, bridges, steaming hot brakes… seems like our teams have hit the hills.

They`re crossing the finish line in Gangtok today.

Teams are fast approaching Gangtok via all means necessary. This includes, but is not limited to- sketchy looking wooden bridges, tracks through tea fields, on two wheels, downhill, uphill and with a stop off at what looks like Big Ben.

It’s not uncommon for a rickshaw to break down and need a tow…though in this case, it looks like toilet paper was used? Whatever works we suppose.

Here’s a few of our favourites from day 11 on the road.

Yesterday, teams decided to take the road less traveled, going through rice fields, national parks and even on a supposed National Highway. We are sure their little rickshaws love every bump and pebble they encounter.

Here’s some favourites from the day including Mr George’s Photo Of The Day.

Sunset snaps, fixing rickshaws while in motion and just outright getting stuck. Adventuring chaos at its finest.

Teams are approaching their final few days on the road and are all begging to descend onto the North East like bears to honey. Here’s a few of our favourite snaps from yesterday.

Rickshaws on boats, exactly where they should be when encountering large bodies of water. Rickshaws with roof tents? We aren’t so sure but they seem to make it work.

It was a tough decision for Photo of the day so we settled on two. Lucky buggers, they best not get used to this.

The rubber ring on the top of ‘Team No Parkins’ rickshaw is not for decorative purposes. We all know rickshaws can’t swim, but that doesn’t stop these guys with their added safety precautions.
