From Shrewsbury to Mongolia . . . in a £100 Micra
When Shropshire policewoman Leanne Rhoden met her new partner Greg Pearson, she knew he was car crazy and a bit of an adrenaline junky.
What she didn't expect was that, four years down the line, she would be bumping her way to Mongolia in a converted Nissan Micra and taking part in a charity road race.
Her bed would be a converted boot, showering would be a distant memory and living under the stars would become a way of life.
Holidays to the Grand Canyon, Mont Blanc and Peru should have prepared her for the somewhat odd request to take part in the Mongol Rally, but even Leanne, who is a police constable based at Monkmoor in Shrewsbury, was somewhat taken aback by Greg's slightly unusual proposal.
But they say that love can make people do anything and in Leanne's case this is true.
