We're in Khovd, Western Mongolia. We've been traveling for 3 days and have barely covered 300 miles. Not because the roads are terrible - they're not, nothing like as bad as Kazakhstan. More because we're with a convoy on vehicles that are going slowly because bits are hanging off. The Mitchell bros' SJ has had no rear suspension for 2 days. Our transfer box is still untied and bouncing around underneath the car. Four wheel drive now only works in low ratio mode.
We've done a couple of river crossings, which didn't cause us any problems. We towed our 2 wheel drive friends, Team Ski (http://teamski.awardspace.com) out of a spot of trouble.
We're heading into the Gobi desert next...
Blog again in a few days.
