Team Mongol Beaver is made up of four very peculiar students from Aberystwyth University, and are as follows:


Being four team members, we decided that the amount of bickering and general abuse would be lowered if we were to split ourselves down into a couple of cars, rather than having to subject ourselves to each others presence in too cramped an environment!

Team Tom:

Tommy Tyrrell

Tommy Tyrrell is 21, and is optimistic of the possibility of graduating this year. Remarkably for team Mongol Beaver, has only lost a toenail, and no major organs. He is also a fan of the wearing of pink shirts.

Tommy Onion

"Tommy Ohhh/Onion" is the baby of the group and will be having his birthday on our mad rush to Mongolia. His interests include poetry, unicorns and long walks. It is hoped he will manage to keep us entertained with his guitar, and alleged musical talent.


Team Organ:

The aptly named Team Organ, so called as between them they are diffy an appendix and a kidney, will be making their voyage hoping for safety from organ bandits!

Tom "Hugo" Richards

Hugo, the most recently biologically damaged member of Team Beaver recently had his appendix removed, following an unfortunate swimming accident, involving a dogfish, hence his inclusion in Team Organ. He is 21, from Newbury, and is into his own hair.

Mark Dean

"One Kidney Mark", the founding member of Team Organ, Mark lost his kidney in a poker game in Moscow, where he resides when not in Aberystwyth. He is into all sorts of climbing and abseiling antics, and can normally be found dangling off a piece of string on a remote mountain somewhere, when most students are, quite sensibly, in the pub.



Support Team

Due to all of our eneptness with mechanical things big and small we felt it necessary to employee a specialist:

Mathew 'Twig' Yarwood

Twig as he is fondly known to us all is the brains behind the mechanical operation. He shall unfortunatly not be coming on the trip with us but will be on the end of the phone 24 hours a day (he doesnt know this yet!) and will be taking us on an intensive training course before we leave.
