Electric Powered Mcrae Dune Buggy First Dakar Competitor

electric-powered-mcrae-dune-buggy-first-dakar-competitor.jpg

The electric powered Mcrae Dune Buggy will be the first green dune buggy to attempt to traverse 5,500 miles of the grueling desert terrain for the 2010 Dakar Competition in South America which kicks off January 1st and lasts till January 15th. This electric powered Mcrae Dune Buggy will be surrounded by a bunch of gas guzzling competitors and can possibly change the way of things if it prevails. Part of the Anglo-Dutch team that's headed by Alistair McRae, the ultra-lightweight McRae Buggy boasts a 54-kWh lithium-ion battery pack and a robust 200-kW electric motor that features three power settings (eco, standard and full attack). The green buggy also features an aerodynamically optimized body and trick shock absorbers that convert kinetic energy from ruts and bumps into usable electric power. And instead of refueling with gas, its' pit crew will consist of vehicles equipped with DC quick chargers. Badass!

Women Going Wild Enters its 22nd Season!

Wild Women Expeditions (WWE), Canada's largest all-women adventure travel company, enters its 22nd season with fun and unique adventures, in every region of Canada. Wild Women Expeditions specializes in outdoor adventure travel exclusively within Canada. In 1991, the company started exclusively as an all-women canoe tripping company and over the last 21 years, Wild Women has expanded across Canada and is now offering kayak, flatwater and whitewater canoe, hiking, cycling, surfing and yoga adventures in 8 provinces/territories. They offer yoga and art retreats and multi-sport adventures in a variety of outstanding wilderness destinations including Vancouver Island's Pacific Rim, the Rockies, Northern Ontario, New Brunswick's Bay of Fundy and Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park.

In 2011, WWE broke new ground with the wildly popular "Wild Yoga Retreats? in Gros Morne Newfoundland and Bay of Fundy New Brunswick, combining a wellness based program with outdoor adventure activities. WWE Director Jennifer Haddow notes that "Women are looking to experience the wild in a holistic way, with other women who share their values and interests. We are about connection and celebration, not competition. Women's-only travel resonates with more and more women who want more than a typical getaway vacation. They want to be part of a meaningful wilderness experience and they talk about the relationships with other woman on our adventures as being as valuable as the experience of the destinations themselves?.

From the beginning of June through to September 2012, many traditional favorites and some brand new expeditions are available. A greater number and range of trips have recently been added to meet the growing demand of women wanting to explore and experience the natural beauty of Canada's wilderness.

Recognized nationally and internationally for excellence in all-women wilderness trips, Wild Women Expeditions accommodates both the absolute beginner and the well seasoned tripper. "WWE has had a steady climb, increasing our activities and business significantly in the last year, and are poised to grow even more in 2012.? says Haddow. "We are exanding our specialized trips, such as trips exclusively for lesbian and bisexual women, as well as building on trips for mothers and daughters and meeting more specific needs of the women's travel community?.

The complete 2012 schedule is available at http://www.wildwomenexp.com, or for more information 1-888-WWE-1222.

In 2011, WWE also launched a unique new blog ?Women Going Wild' (http://womengoingwild.ca/) as a forum to share the stories of women about their empowerment and experience in Canada's wilderness.
