Latest text: We're with others at a Gert Hotel for $20 for the two of us. Got through the border at 14.30. Took really slow third gear road! Like Donkey Lane surface but set on Mars or the moon if there were cows and grass there! Massive hill stopped us - 1 in 4 - half way up. Bella ran out of grip at the goose neck as we took avoiding action from boulders and deep ruts. Stopped and had a think as we were looking down at the peaks! A Spanish team in a fiesta were stopped at the same place. So we agreed on the best course. In first gear we went hell for leather all the way to the top. The fiesta followed and the two passengers had to walk up 2000m! A Mongolian has told us that we will be ok now for any other slopes as this is the worst. A few miles along the ridge and a perfect black tarmac road appeared (as if in a dream) which ran 30km into town! Will took over and smiled at the thought of driving in Mongolia. Scenery stunning and we're in Gert.
