In October 2021, expedition ‘The Overlanding Ambulance’ set off from Liverpool, UK in a Land Rover Defender Ambulance to attempt the Guinness World Record for the ‘Longest Journey by Ambulance’.

The team is made up of Rachel Nixon, Lawrence Dodi, and Peggy the travel spaniel. Both Rachel and Lawrence are veterinary surgeons who are undertaking this adventure at their own expense with the goal of raising money and attention for two charities that are close to their hearts; Anthony Nolan and Vetlife.

Rachel and Lawrence took a leave of absence from their jobs and hit the road with Peggy.

While living and travelling full time in the ambulance, they journeyed through 24 countries, and ventured as far as Armenia! While in Ushguli, Georgia (the highest inhabited settlement in Europe), they successfully crossed the 20,000km target set by Guinness World Records as the minimum record attempt. But they aren't finished yet...
