Greetings all
Once again the internet is acting as hangover relief, thank you hotel Buchant for the minibar. shaky typing following on from bone rattling run with 4 hitchers in tow down to where we now are, Khovd city.
Out of Russia at long last and out of tarmac. the low flying, bottom feeding Polo has taken a beating over the last few days, sump guard mods on the roadside with a decent rock and hammer. Shep May to blame for snowplowing his way across the rough. Pandas shrinking exhaust is gassing John and I, Snorkel put to good use airing the cabin. Shep and L&M full flavor to blame for polo fumes.
'Roads' are little more than tracks, 100miles a full day at best. Panda shocks have given up the ghost, so is now running in S-class 'comfort-glide' mode.
4 hitchers stuck on the roadside on thursday successfuly rammed in. after camping by the town sewage works, dropped them off in khovd yesterday. decided 5 mins later that their hotel looked too inviting so shaked up. nice to have a bed, glorious to have a shower, although the electrified taps need some work. Fair play to hotel Buchant, insulating slippers were provided but sadly forgotten
Should be heading off to hot spings now, although were all feeling a little bent after the Ghengis Voddy. Shep is recovering from a near meltdown last night. we expect to lower his risk level from red to amber shortly. defcon 2 in old money
all the best
