Just outside Bayan Khongor, about 150km away from tarmac now, but roofrack is knackered - getting welded tomorrow.

Well, the car is now officially handed over now to the lovely people at CPDF in Ulan Baatar, and it is being worked by their mechanic as I type. Thanks to all of those that have supported us on this adventure, we couldn't have done it without you.

We have booked flights for Saturday, so until then we plan to be proper tourists for the next few days - no more driving! I'm looking forward to the luxuries of home and a car with working shock absorbers.

Thanks all.

Just outside Bayan Khongor, about 150km away from tarmac now, but roofrack is knackered - getting welded tomorrow. UB on Mon or Tue hopefully!

Now in Olgii, Mongolia!

Bit of an update - we finally crossed the border yesterday into Mongolia - and wow what a place.  read more »

Passing through Barnaul, took 4 hrs through border near Pavlodar even though chief-lieutenant helped! Hopefully in Mongolia tonight...

In hotel Atau in Astana, nice here - but city drivers are bad. 1st puncture today, tomorrow will find a new tire & leave for Semey. All is good.
