Campsite, Sea of Tranquillity. Cant say much for the facilities. No toilet block, EHU or pot wash. But the solar panel works a treat and the views are...well.... just out of this world.

Heading to Oxford today and saw the 2nd best bus in the world (mine being the 1st).
Rode the UCI sportive in Harrogate. This was the start, where the pros will finish next weekend.
The closed road bit at the start was great. The rain after 23miles wasn't great though.
Stayed in the car park of a pub that was shut due to the road closures. Excellent.
Well, made it to Mongolia (and back) via Russia down to the capital Ulaanbaatar (our first experience of Mongolian non-roads) grab a 10 day transit visa and head back west across Mongolia on what is laughingly called the ‘Northern Route’. No roads, just local tracks, spent weeks ‘off road’ got lost and found a few times, helped others and was helped by others, but the van was magnificent, took everything in its stride, ruts, rivers, bombhole craters, bogs, sand traps and rock outcrops. The Goodrich All Terrains lived up to their name (no punctures) in a country where seeing six tyre changes a day is normal. Well done Team (140) T6. Nine weeks and nearly twelve thousand miles all for charity.
You've got the love the goat on the back of the bike
Hi Sabre
The horse is as big as it looks, it’s massive ! Getting to see it is a typical Mongolian story, it’s only 50 kms east of the capital, easy. Leaving Ulaanbaatar is on a tarmac, well at least for the first couple of kms, then you get a Mongolian diversion, actually it’s just a dirt barrier across the whole road, every one takes to the scenery, any way you want, any direction, any speed and tons of dust ! A return trip of 100kms takes 5 hours of off road driving, worth the trip though.

Do you have a map of your route out of interest oh and more photos?
