26th Aug 1:00pm.
7,365 miles completed (+248).
The Mongol Rally race is run, and against the odds and the sceptics we made it to Ulan Bator a mere 43 days and 7,365 miles after leaving the UK.
It's been an amazing journey traversing mountains, deserts and rivers, we've met an incredibly diverse cross section of people and hopefully will have helped to improve the lives of some children here in Mongolia who haven't been as fortunate as all of us.
On that note, this was for charity so thank you so much to those who have made donations and we'd really appreciate the support of those who haven't yet. You can contribute via our team page or just drop one of us a note for details.

26th Aug 8:30am.
7,117 miles completed (+150).
Slight change of plans last night. The tarmac road was in much worse condition than we expected so we were averaging less than 25mph so we decided to make camp by the roadside - good call, we all had a solid night's sleep.
We were up by 7:30am and started giving away all of the food and equipment we no longer needed to the people living in the gers we'd camped next to.
We discovered how Mongolian hospitality works and were invited into the family ger for Aaruul (hard dried milk curds), Bortzig (fried unleavened bread) and dried cheese - delicious.
We drank whiskey with the head of the family and sniffed snuff contained in an 80 year old family heirloom.
As we left a sheep was being slaughtered in the traditional manner by placing the hand inside a small incision and doing something to end it's life, not sure what though.
All in all a great start to the day!

This was reciprocated by being invited into the family ger for Aaruul (hard dried milk curds), Bortzig (fried unleavened bread) and dried cheese - delicious, not!
