Camping
Monday evening - camped in the desert about 50 miles east of Altai. Had boil in bag curry and jam sponge to celebrate progress after yesterday. The roads have allowed about 23 average today - a VAST improvement! Cloudy, windy and spitting. No shooting stars tonight. Terry Pratchett by torchlight.
Bayan Olgii, Mongolia
Someone just offered to buy our car! Well it is working fine. Roads a bit better today hit 40mph a couple of times averaging just over 20
Govi-Altai, Mongolia
On the road all day after breakfast at Hovd and only got this far. Stereo and CB Radio broken otherwise car is fine. Still convoying with Behi Watch Taleda, also on and off with the Bounders who drive faster but have exhaust & overheating issues@
Hovd, Mongolia
Roads non-existent. 15mph all the way. Car doing OK so far. Looking for food and fuel before heading 450km to Altai
Republic of Altai, Russian Federation
Stunning drive through Altai mountains, with rivers, forest, plains, yaks, cattle, sheep and camels. Camping on plains by border tonight with snow capped mountains all around. Awesome.
Biysk, Russian Federation
The BGM is typing this without specs...  We are at Biysk some 600 kms from border with Mongolia and we're in a nice Sooviet hotel again. This time one door to two twin rooms - and all retro decs like the 1950s!!! Unf there's no bar and or eats available...
Semey, Kazakhstan
Crappy hotel, city looks like a dump too. Still, 40 yrs of nuclear tests nearby can't help it attract much investment
Almaty, Kazakhstan
looking for somewhere to camp with team kehiwatch with stunning mountain views to the east after spending the morning in Almaty
