Full of high spirits, Kip and Carmen leave UB to head north for Lake Baikal. Amazing how your luggage shrinks when you wear all your clothes. (pic below, out of order)
We'll be doing a final pack (again) and heading off soon.
Left UB and got 116 miles under our belt. Spent the evening with a road crew (the promised tarmac was not laid yet). Had mutton/noodle stew. went joy riding in trucks, played basketball, vodka drinking in a Ger, then open air disco by JCB hazard lights. Finally camped with horses grazing nearby.
Pic 1: just a few miles outside UB. Pic 2: with new friend from Mongol roadbuilding crew.
Pic 3: Seb's HGV driving lesson from road crew. Pic 4: Basketball in the Gobi. Pic 5: Camping with the road crew (after disco by the lights of the JCB)

Hi Seb! Happy Birthday!! NJW wants to know if you're looking over your shoulder yet, 134 vintage / moderns starting in Peking today! Hang on to phone and camera!
I think you are great and I've named my baby pet rabbit after you. It is called Belle.
Great stuff! What's the distance covered so far?

Fantastic start - Watch out for the 30/98 in the chasing pack - all the best in Mongolia

Hello Annabel and team, what a fabulous adventure! Make the best of it and don't let the marmot pot-holes get you down! Thought of you this weekend when driving to Holland and back in the Bristol which was rammed from behind by a Bentley... Blast! But roads were pretty good, and didn't have to worry about the 38 octane petrol you're enjoying! Best wishes and huge hugs!
