Moscow, Russia
sitting on the plane bound for london. It's pouring grey rain outside. We drove for 7.5 weeks to get to Ulaan Baatar; it will take us a little over 10 hours to get back (inshallah)...
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
11,737 miles! And not a single puncture. Suzuki Slo Rida - legendary. We're gonna miss her...
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
we made it! Amazing. If only we weren't now stuck in stationary traffic at some junction while an officious sounding man whistles somewhere up ahead. Not letting anyone go. Anywhere. Weird.@
Tov, Mongolia
nearing the capital. Feeling really quite sad - 52 days on the road with the Slo Rida, now we're nearly there, it's nearly over...
Arvaikheer, Mongolia
brutal day, fractured nerves, tempers, everything. But redeemed by sunset encounter with Tarmac. Not just any Tarmac either, it's delicious, smooth, clean Tarmac!
Bayanhongor, Mongolia
After 3 nights in wilde steppe, 5 since last shower, 1 wrong turn and 2 forded rivers... only 174km to fabled tarmac to UB
Altay, China
some super gruelling roads yesterday. Juddery in the extreme - bones all shook up. Met a load of other teams & convoyed for a bit, but had to push on as it's SO far & we've only got 5 days til our flight... Sorry guys'
Khovd, Mongolia
camped in the hills above the town. Hellish roads/rivers... Dinner of mashed potatoes, baked beans and cheese, and a salad to ward off the lurgy. Deserved. Early night, yes please!@
Bayan Olgii, Mongolia
christ on a bike these are bad roads! the landscape is huge, windy, and beautiful...
Not in my own words: "cartophilic, petrol-head archaeolotrix with a warrior queen complex"
