Our other Car's a Yak
On 3rd August 2005, Stephen Edwards and Will Dodsworth left London in a 1991 Vauxhall Nova 1.0 and drove 9600 miles to Ulaan baatar, the capital of Mongolia. Most people considered the car to be underpowered for doing their shopping, and yet with no support vehicles they completed the journey in 76 days, visiting 18 countries and seeing rarely visited lands.Go back to the homepage for Our other Car's a Yak

| 3 years 37 weeks ago | We have reached our final destination, Ulaan Bataar, the coldest capital in the world! The drive from Olgii, in the far west of Mongolia, to UB was around 1200km. The route took us across the northern edge of the Gobi desert. There was no road, just a series of rough jeep tracks. read more » | 0 | |
