Bayankhongor, Mongolia
got lost last night in the Gobi desert of outer Mongolia... Navigated out now! Our rear shocks are shot to bits but we are still ploughing on as teams fall by the wayside, including our convoy team the northern irish lads. Team JB out.
Khovd, Mongolia
awesome day! In the wilderness of Mongolia! Team JB still going strong, towed out of the sand by a lorry etc... Eagles soaring in the sky, heading for the worst roads tomorrow apparently. Team JB out.
Semey, Kazakhstan

camping on the concrete tonight in no mans land between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
