With Emily at the helm as the navigator, and the duo having partnered three times, you are sure to get a first-hand account of the thrill and camaraderie that makes the Rebelle Rally a unique adventure and a test of true grit - for ladies only!.As the dust settles, we also dissect the nuts and bolts of what goes into surviving this seven-day ordeal.
