Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Sep 1, 2010 We have touched down in Mongolia. 7 days in and we still have 500km to go. Boys and car doing well all things considered. The roads have been the worst yet! Dont expect the airbag if you buy our car from us!! It blew 2 days ago! Final Push for Ulaan Baater. See you all on Friday....
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia Sep 1, 2010 We only have 300 miles of dirt, sand and pot holes until Ulaanbaatar and the pomised land of a cold beer (shame it's not a Rothaus) and a hot shower....somewhere along the way we'll cross the 11,000 mile mark and THANKS to you all we have already crossed the 2000 pound mark for the Christina Noble Children's Foundation ...- any extra pound or pennies before we get there?????
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan Aug 26, 2010 We've made it to Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan after 4 weeks and 8088 miles. We depart tomorrow for Borat country with another 2500 miles in front of us. Thank you everyone that has sponsored us, we are so close to the 2000 pound mark please keep the donations coming....Thanks Huw & James
Dushanbe, Tajikistan Aug 16, 2010 Easiest crossing of the border. Scamometer wobbled and gently rises another $20. Fairly straightforward, which is more than can be said for the road. Instantly deteriorates to the most off-road sections yet. 9 hours to complete 200 miles. Sump guard earns it's stripes and our need to eat the food we are carrying to lighten the load. Bonkers landscape. 8800m high. Only the beginning. 5km tunnel through the mountain at that height. Pretty sketchy stuff. Dusha...
