Thursday 16th September
Early in the day we had three river crossings. Ah. The first one was not a huge success as we stalled on exit, but managed to get started again. At the next one we had a “you go”, “no you go” with John and Henry Raker who we persuaded to do the gentlemanly thing and lead us through. We couldn’t pull ourselves out though and the Rakers carried on. Huh! We did mention it to them later…Luckily loads of Mongolians were there to help Suzy push.
For about 300 more km we travelled over dreadful bumpy hard roads, endlessly crashing around swerving and braking all day, so exhausted but every time Rachel relaxed at the wheel we crashed into yet another rock or hole.
We eventually arrived at camp by White Lake (Tsagaan Nuur) in the freezing cold. What a shock after being so hot before.
