Phone Update:
We had a great day today on a mixture of rouch roads and tar sealed. We pulled up and we realised we had a broken front spring. We fortunately had it welded in town – (Korocoran????) (don’t know town name??? We stayed in a Mongolian yurt called a Ger.
This was another day of 180 Ks of tracks before 250 Ks of Tar Seal.
As we drove up through the desert we passed to trucks loaded with broken cars on the way to garages in Ulaan Batar.
Our bigest problem for the day was we never saw a huge bump in the road and hit it fairly hard and did a tube so out with the jack and another tyre change.
We were amongst the first group to arrive in UB for a day of rest, servicing and repairing tyres.
Gossip has it that 14 cars arrived in UB on trucks so some crews have a busy time repairing.
We all arose to another great day for the run up to the China Mongolia border.We started the day crossing two ranges then 250 kilometres across the start of the Gobi desert with it getting drier and less vegetation.
This day saw the about 8 cars have problems that required them arriving that night on Trucks.
Our car (Penny) gave is another trouble free day.
