The final frontier! Heading to the finish line now!


WE MADE IT TO MONGOLIA!!!!


Above: the mechanic's family who we stayed with - great hospitality and a toasty warm home!



Above: the head of the family who we stayed with - a true gentleman


Above: gorgeous little girl who we read Dr Seuss to - pity we couldn't take her with us as a third driver but she couldn't see over the steering wheel...

Above: Sardi makes a friend!

We've made it to Mongolia!
And we've made it through all our border crossings without paying a single bribe! Our convoy's theme song "Highway through the danger zone" made it as far as the chorus when we entered Mongolia before Team Top Gun broke down. A challenging week now lies ahead as we head to the finish in Ulaan Baatar.
We are aiming to arrive at the finish by Tuesday, 26th August - depending on how Matilda goes!
