Ulaan battar
We arrived here last night after 2 brutal days of driving in the Ghobi Dessert, we have 6 more days to go on this stretch. We have had 2 punctures and the car is covered in sand and dirt both inside and out. WE arrived at the camp site the first night in the dark which was challenging, thank goodness for the GPS. WE then had to put up the tent which seemed so much easier when put up in the garden in Shirley. We are keeping up well so far and today is our first day off, we shall spend it cleaning and checking the car. I am afraid no photos at this stage as our camera has developed weird black spots! We shall try to get a new one today. Several cars have not made it this far so we feel pretty lucky. More in 6 days,.

Sorry to hear about the lack of photos - One of the German teams did get a photo of team Flora before the start in Beijing:

...and we did see Flora passing by the overturned truck on the highway.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colin for posting the photos - keep them coming! It's nice to see the race come alive.
ReplyDeleteEvery day we read the reports and are greatly encouraged by the lack of any mention of #41!From what we read it seems the air springs were a great idea i.e. no spring breakages. The air compressor must have come in handy.Keep right on to the end of the road - love and best wishes- Alan & Sue
