Russian Altai to the Mongolian Border
Great ride through the high plateaus into Mongolia but bloody freezing up at 2-3000 metres the whole time, even with the second layer on my hands are freezing. Hit by hailstorms at the border while hanging about. It was great fun trying to get the Dominatrix Major at passport control to laugh - failed. Weird border Russian side is 15 km short of the Mongolian side, thought I'd screwed up because the Mongolian female sergeant forgot to give me the process card, managed to blag my way through the exit. Met the English guys with the Land Rover ambulance trying to persuade customs that they were going to leave this thousands of pounds worth of vehicle in Mongolia and they didn't have to pay customs duty.. we wished them luck and left them to it. Hit the first real dirt not a drop of tarmac in sight. Found a campsite close to the border and crashed.
