In UB and with direct access to the internet, we've now added pictures to the last several days of posts.
This evening we heard more detail of the challenges further west - deep water, with no bridges, being the main concern. We're considering how far we can go in waterproofing the car - snorkel on the exhaust etc.

hi annabel, hope all is going well. We are all SO glad that your doing this. looking at some of the pics, amazing sky in the Gobi desert. keep your chin up! kit. :)
Good work Jones!!! I'm very jealous of your adventure- checking your progress from my work desk really brightens my days :)
Hopefully you'll get to some decent tarmac roads soon and you'll all be sipping champagne in Paris before you know it!!

Well done to you all for making it this far from harrow Beijing.
We have you linked from the school website and I, for one, check your progress daily.
Forgot to tell you when you were here .... the few tarmac roads you have found in Mongolia were built by a cousin of mine and the Scottish company he worked for.He lived there for 9 months. Hope they are serving their purpose. Looking forward to the next report.

Looks like you are having a fantastic experience, although VSCC trials and rallies may seem a little tame to you in the future. ;) Keeping smiling and you'll be in Paris in no time.
