Our guys are about 350 miles from the Russia/Mongolia border and about 1400 miles from the finish line at Ulaan-Baatar, the Mongolian capital. The first cars have crossed the line but Dan and Gareth are still well ahead in the 'Idiots in a three cylinder car' class.  |

Did anyone else think it was funny that our nutty explorers were at a place called Dund-us earlier today?

From an SMS text message received this morning:
11am now and 150km done today so far since leaving the Gobi Desert. Quick fuel and food stop in Bayankhongor and onwards to Arvayheer for what should be our last 200km of off-roading. Finish line in sight but Percy is starting to implode...fingers crossed!
Fingers and toes boys, fingers and toes...
I go on holiday today which might mean a struggle to update the map for the last few days of the Rally - will do my best though.

he gets auctioned off for charity or given to a local authority.
I'm convinced dan will cry when he says goodbye.

How boring, no tales of kidnappings, gang rapes or incarcerations in dodgy eastern bloc jails.
Well done to the lads & the bubble car for getting there.
