More sand dunes, near Zuundgovi in North West Mongolia.
The scene of a car crash taken at a distance - no one was hurt - with the usual crowd of interested onlookers.
It's getting damn cold. Note the snow capped peaks in the distance.
The river we managed to ford (just), but only with loads of help from these guys.
Changing one of the universal joints on the front drive shaft (which was completely mangled) mostly using the ever versatile and invaluable Land Rover repairing tool otherwise known as a Kalashnikov bayonet.
Our French Mongolian Russian border friends (they were French, the border was Mongolian - Russian). Between the six of us we clocked up a total of 336 man hours on the border (two weeks).
The queue to get to the Mongolian border to get to the queue at the Russian frontier to get to the queue at the Russian border post to get to Russia.
The landscape just inside Russia was almost alpine (there are big mountains, just not in this photo).
More of the Russian landscape. At this point we were alternately chasing/being chased by a 2CV (with a couple of our French friends inside) through the winding mountain passes - a very strange experience.
