Friday 17 JuneDay 6, Ulaan Baatar toBulgan, 343 kms
(Dave's notes from yesterday and today (sent via a 'GlobalMe'
gadget from 350+Km outside the capital)
 Yesterday was a rest day in
Ulaan Baatar. We needed it.
Mark went shopping for socks and undies. I rested.
In the evening there were drinks for the Lotus Children's
Foundation. They are the
rally charity and the children (orphans/homeless kids from Ulaan
Baatar) put on a concert for us.
Today's rally stages started
in Genghis Khan Square at 9 am and we had to be there by 8. The field
has been re-seeded in reverse order of merit so we started 2nd
last at 10:51, having stood around for 3hrs.

 The run out of town was horrific. Traffic jam with gridlock everywhere. It has seemed a nice city until then. We did just 7 Km in the first hour. After traffic cleared a bit ,we were able to make up some time but we were 3 minutes late at the end control. We are hoping they may give an allowance but who knows.
The 2nd part of the
day was more of Gobi desert tracks.
There were 2 test stages which we took steadily.
I don’t know any results.

Theree is a little bit of
exhaust noise coming from the engine and Mark is checking the exhaust
manifold bolts as I write this.
More of the same tomorrow I
expect.
