The Lone Wolf Transglobal Expedition has successfully crossed the border into Pakistan, marking the completion of four months on the road during which the team's Land Rover Wolf Defender, shod on Cooper tyres, has traversed a multitude of demanding terrain.
The versatile Cooper Discoverer STT (Super Traction Tread) has carried the Lone Wolf team over thousands of miles of unpaved mud roads, snow covered mountain paths and desert dunes, as well as proving remarkably comfortable on western motorways.
Originally designed and built to the specifications of the famous explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
Having left the UK on 2 January, the Lone Wolf Transglobal Expedition aims to circumnavigate the globe in just 12 months. With the help of Cooper Tire, the eighth largest tyre maker in the world, the expedition will travel through 40 countries in a vehicle originally designed and built to the specifications of the famous explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
With a fully operational camera crew in tow to capture all the action for a ten-part documentary series. Expedition captain, Daniel Moylan, continues to lead the team around some of the world's most famous attractions, while chef Rowan Brown explores the gastronomic delights offered at each destination during their 12-month odyssey.
The Discoverer STT combines Cooper's unique Armor-Tek3 carcass construction technology with a computer designed, non-directional tread pattern to create a bold, aggressive tyre tough enough to conquer any terrain.
