A breakfast of tea and biscuits and we leave Tsagaannur, headed for Olgiy, the first decent sized town since entering Mongolia, where we hope to meet up with the rest of the convoy. Unfortunately we cant get through to any of their phones; feeling they are likely ahead of us we press on as a two car convoy. On the road we meet a bunch of other teams, crossed a few ponds and rivers, climbed a few passes and had a great day. We pitched our tents at a ger (AKA yurt) camp on the edge of Hovd. Today the Pale Horse performed beautifully, outclassing all the other cars in the field. We finished the day with some drinks and dinner in one of the gers with a half dozen other teams, including a fire truck that is on a mission to circumnavigate the globe. Looking for them in next years Guinness Book of World Records. After a great sleep we set off for a big day, hoping to make it to Altay, about 450km down the road.
