Altay, China
(
Hovd, Mongolia
we've had an incredible day driving. Mongolia really doesn't have roads! Knocked the exhaust badly, sounds more rally-like though...
Bayan Olgii, Mongolia
we've made it to Mongolia! After almost 2days getting through the border! The car is sort of struggling, 1500km of bad roads left!
Biysk, Russian Federation
staying in the russian hills. Met horhay today who works in london and is cycling to Mongolia. Sat round a fire with a mountain man now.
Barnaul, Russian Federation
we're staying in the plushest hotel we could find, due to the next 7-10 days being miles from anywhere. Going for a mexican now.
Semey, Kazakhstan
we're in a bar that's made of bamboo... Its weird. Having kebab, bread and coca cola. Leaving Kazak tomorrow. Bring on russia!

crossed into our final 'stan last night. Slept on the table of a roadside truck stop. Not what you call a good nights sleep But enjoyable
Samarkand, Uzbekistan
we're in samarqand. Had our first break down yesterday. A brake leak, caused by uzbek's terrible roads! We'll fix it today. Kazak next
<font color="#000033" face="verdana,geneva"><strong><font size="3"><font color="#000000">What's the Mongol Rally?</font> </font></strong></font><p><font color="#000000" face="verdana,geneva" size="2">The rally involves driving a totally unsuitable vehicle from Goodwood, UK, to Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia in around four weeks. The route, when it is decided upon, will be around 10,000 miles long and will take us through potentially around 20 countries over a variety of roads and non-roads.The rally is completely unsupported and so it'll be down to our extensive (non-existent) mechanical skills to get us out of any trouble along the way.<br /></font></p><p><font color="#000000" face="verdana,geneva" size="2">As well as being a bit of a ridiculous thing to do the rally also raises a lot of money for some really good charities (see our Charities section for more information). </font><font color="#000000" face="verdana,geneva" size="2">Each team on the rally must raise £1000 for the chosen charities. In 2007 the rally raised a bloody massive £200,000.</font></p><p> </p><p>If you want to sponsor us, or just want to say hi, you can tweet us <a href="http://twitter.com/teamteamteamtea">@teamteamteamtea </a> or email us on: [email protected] </p><p> </p><p>Or drop a few pence in the hat @ <a href="http://justgiving.com/teamteamteamteam">justgiving.com/teamteamteamteam</a> </p>
