Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Sitting in traffic on outskirts of UB - so close.

Stayed last night in the Loving Hut, rally cars dying around us, but we are still going. Next stop, UB
Bayanhongor, Mongolia
Camped in the middle of the desert last night with Frying Dutchmen, and spent the morning fixing their Kranken Wagon + meeting locals.
Altay, China
Huge day of driving! Been shaken to bits, but Kangoo in one piece. Suspension and exhaust have seen better days, just about rolled twice.
Khovd, Mongolia
Update on motorbike. No brakes, no clutch, guy says no problem, we say no deal. Staying tonight in ger village with around 10 teams, fixing cars and catching up on stories.
Ölgiy, Mongolia
Staying with a local family in Olgly, think we have just negotiated Team GBPP a motorcycle to add to our fleet.
Republic of Altai, Russian Federation
Made it to the border, the car before us left Russia, but we didn't quite make it. Brent got pulled over again today for speeding, but talked his way out of it.
, Qatyn Zhotasy, Republic of Altai, Russian Federation
Stunning scenery in Altai Mountains! Staying in a log cabin next to a stream tonight.

Barnaul is much more civilised than Kazakhstan. Temperature has dropped and it is nice to be out of the heat. Brent got a speeding ticket 20min into Russia.
