Three countries. 10,000 miles. 39 days. 16 stadiums. One World Cup.Englishman Ollie Jenks and Canadian friend Seth Scott are attempting to complete the enormous task of driving to all 16 venues used at this summer's World Cup, but with an unusual and very British twist.The entire challenge is being done in a traditional London black cab with the added pressure of finishing before the World Cup concludes in New Jersey on 19 July.It is an unusual, yet fascinating adventure but does leave the question - why?"I get bored very quickly is the simple answer to that," Jenks quips.But the real answer is more nuanced.The adventure was partly inspired by a 2008 BBC documentary called 'Stephen Fry in America' in which the actor and comedian travelled across all 50 United States, primarily in a black cab.For lifelong football fan Jenks, the adventure provides the opportunity to not only follow a World Cup, but help others attending too.The duo have been raising money for charity and mindful of the costs to travel at the World Cup have also been keen to offer lifts to spectators from across the globe. Supporters from Colombia, Ghana, DR Congo and Argentina are among those to have already nabbed a lift in the taxi."The average wage in Bosnia is like $800 a month or something, so they'd have to work for three or four months just to afford a ticket," said Jenks."If we can maybe help out in some kind of way, we would have done a bit of a good deed at the same time."I like that community aspect for football kind of brings together."To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.This v...
