We've only gone and done it!

12:34 today....we crossed the finish line in the center of UlaanBaatar.
We came in 58th and Parked the car on the finish ramp had some photos
takEn and had a beer.

A few others rolled in and the mood was good

Currently in a swanky hotel to get cleaned up.

We could have made it last night but stopped 100 km out of town at a
large national park where we were allowed to drive in at dusk to see
the recently reintroduced preszwalsky horses.
It was great fun and we met some Japanese, British and American
tourists who had all flown in to UB to be driven around the desert in
4x4's. At first I don't think they believed how WE had got there.

We also gifted lots of our kit to the center which was gratefuly
recieved. We were able to rescue a local man with a shredded tyre with
one of our unused spares. We haven't had a single puncture.

Big thanks to everyone who sent us messages of support during the trip.

The photos and videos will all be added to the website in good time
once we get back home.
