We've made it to Ulaanbaatar! Massive thanks for the support, we couldn't have done it without you. Raise your finest Mongolian Vodka in memory of Doris. Hurrah! Video incoming.

A tow from the Russian mafia, a 23 hour drive through Russia, a close escape with petrol and a camp fire, herding cattle on a motorbike and a whopping 14 break downs in Mongolia. Sadly, Doris has passed away. We trundle onto Ulaanbaatar without her.
After a valiant 37 days on the road, Doris our Purple Yak has finally passed away, 600km from UlaanBataar. 4 bust springs, 2 snapped leafsprings and a total of 21 breakdowns. God knows how she survived this far. We will hitchhike the rest. In honour of Doris, please raise your flags at half mast.
We've made it to Almaty, Kazakhstan. A week best summed by skirting along the Afghan border with a team of minesweepers, donated explosives, a Tajik army general hitchhiker and his 9mm pistol, 2 Draganov sniper rifles and a $50 b**g. Happy holidays.
We're in Tajikistan with a pair of busted shock absorbers. Anybody got a spare set?
thinks 'Genghis Gryllers' is the best team on the Mongol Rally this year...what an absolute couple of hereos!!!
Twelve hours under the custody of authorities. Ten hours spent looking for black market petrol. One tyre blown. Two bust door handles. One snapped exhaust. And this is just in Uzbekistan...
