The paved road had given way to a dirt track, the rallying starts now!
Made it into Mongolia, having some yak meat and chai with a lovely family!
'Small problem' with Archie's visa could spell disaster for our Mongolian dream...
Border closed at 5 so we've camped up for the night, it's pretty chilla
Last pit stop before Mongolia, picking up some decent fuel and beerios
Making the push for Mongolia, reckon we'll cross the day after tomorrow
Tracking is back in business! Camped up on our way to Russia
Finally made it to Georgia, onwards to Tbilisi!
Lovely night in the mountains at Kackar Dagi, waiting at the Georgian border now.
After a very bizarre night in which we almost certainly were the only ones on the whole building we're off on our way again. He

WMUK
WMUK is the UK charity providing support for Waldenström patients and their carers. Waldenström’s Macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a rarer blood cancer of white cells produced in the bone marrow and which becomes more common with age. Currently incurable but it is treatable WMUK not only provides individual support but sponsors research and lobbies for the availability of new treatments on the NHS, several of which are likely to greatly extend the life expectancy of patients in the near future. Unusually, it is a partnership between patients and expert doctors working towards a cure and all work is undertaken by unpaid volunteers, so all donations go towards support and research projects. Current projects include the Rory Morrison Cancer Registry which gathers together treatment results throughout the UK to research the best treatment methods, sponsoring research at Leeds University on the DNA of WM and the collection of patient DNA samples for analysis in a biobank at University College Hospital London. WMUK also hold regular doctor-patient meeting throughout the country. “A few years ago my mother was diagnosed with Waldenström’s Macroglobulinemia (WM) and WMUK helped hugely in our efforts, especially my mother’s, to get to grips with and understand this illness. It will no doubt also be of great support again when the condition worsens. Its work towards a cure and funding for this rare disease and is of great significance to everyone affected by WM.” Hugo Scott, Genghis Kart Team Member
