What's the best number of people to travel with?

20 Dec 2023

Alright, folks, we're about to embark on a wild adventure that includes some serious mathematical acrobatics: determining how many people you can cram into your road trip clown car without turning your journey into a slapstick comedy.

Is a driver and a navigator just enough or are you going to fill your car to the brim with your own personal road trip squad? Let's dive into this quest of quantity versus quality on the open road!

  1. The Clown Car Factor

First things first, you're not traveling in a regular car; you're in a car that is fitted out and packed to the gills to be offroad! That means the space you have comes at a premium, but if you plan right, it has magical expanding capabilities, just like those clowns that keep piling out of a tiny VW Bug at the circus. It's all part of the road trip magic, right?

  1. The 'Comfort' Conundrum

So, there’s space in terms of packing the car generally, and then there’s space in terms of actual comfort when on the road for 10 or more days. We all know road trips are about getting out of your comfort zone, but when you're elbow to elbow and knee to knee, comfort takes on a whole new meaning. If you can manage to contort like a pretzel without losing your sense of humour, then go ahead, squeeze in one more friend!

  1. Budgetary Booms and Busts

Let's talk budget. The good news is that more people usually mean more cost-sharing and more people adding to your fundraising. That means less of a hit to your bank account and a greater impact on the lives of people with disability. Definitely a win.

  1. Navigational Nonsense

Turn right, they said. No, left! No, u-turn! Having enough to people to  switch up duties in the car might be an interesting test when it comes to navigation. If it’s just the two of you, are you both sure you know the roadbook in and out? Or are you willing to pack out the car so that you can swap out the navigating on the regular?

  1. Personality Parade

Now, for the real challenge: the "personality parade." How many strong personalities can you fit in the car before it turns into a full-blown sitcom? Expect quirky jokes, friendly disagreements over music choices, and debates about where to stop for the best roadside attractions.

In conclusion, the number of people you can squeeze into your rally car is a balancing act between comfort, cost-sharing, and comedic camaraderie. However many people you take along, you'll certainly create a memory that'll keep you laughing for years to come. So, embrace the absurdity, buckle up, and get ready for the most entertaining road trip of your life – the Great Endeavour Rally.
