Where Are We Now? - A very good question and one we both regularly ask ourselves. The weather showing above is current and a snap-shot from key parts of our journey. You can get an idea of what is happening to us weather-wise. The Blog below should update automatically from regular texts we are sending while on route. Our real-time progress is bieng plotted via a tracking system gismo you can access from our 'On the Road' page...fancy or what?

Cheers for taking a look at the progress of Team OaB.

Landed back at Heathrow, thanks to an Aeroflot Mig27, it was a new experience flying with all safety gear on and a parachute under the seat.

UB is 125 miles away, so at an average speed of 55mph that should take 2 an a bit hours - alot can happen in a Mongolian hour!
