Xi'an, China

Dunc has added silk worm and scorpion to his culinary tour of China. He opted out of 'testicles on a stick'.

Beijing, China

Been in China less than 12 hours and Dunc has already eaten two cheeseburgers.

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

Ovorkhangai, Mongolia

After spending 6 hours waiting for Amy to be fixed today we've had to travel through the night to get to Arvaikheer. Driving through Mongolian wilderness on un-marked, un-even dirt roads in the pitch black is not an experience any of us are keen to repeat.

Bayanhongor, Mongolia

630km (400m) to the finish line at Ulaanbaatar but with a broken suspension spring, a dodgy prop shaft and an average speed of 25mph on shitty 'roads' will we make it in time for Jon and Soph's 7.30am flight on Tuesday?! Who knows. Come on Amy! @

Altay, China

If you're ever in Mongolia, avoid the town of Altay - despite what the Lonely Planet says, the locals aren't friendly, hotels deem electricity and showers luxury items and the answer to everything you order in the one restaurant in town is 'no' (repeated endlessly until you give up and leave) A delightful place.

Khovd, Mongolia

Note to Team Rover - dont let Jon drive. Not only did he get us stuck in the sand twice today, hes also broken something (not sure what yet...) Not the most productive day trucking.@

Khovd, Mongolia

Hours on the road = 12, bags of minging crisps bought = 4, rivers crossed = 2, punctures = 1 (not ours), kilometers to Ulaanbataar = 1425.

Bayan Olgii, Mongolia

After a paltry 22 hours at the Russia-Mongolia border crossing we're through - we've only gone and made it to Mongolia!

Barnaul, Russia

Limped across the border into Russia with a broken suspension spring thanks to the bouncy Kazak roads. All fixed now and heading for the Mongolian border. Keep on trucking...
