Saturday 18 JuneDay 7, Bulgan to Murun, 350kms  Tonight is called Murun Camp because Murun is the closest town to us -but it's 66km away. There was rain today, but fortunately it's not raining now at the camp site. Again, another beautiful spot for camping. It's by a river with speccy hills all around. There's no internet or phone reception here, so I'm writing this, but have no idea when it will be posted. |

The biggest part of the day was again highway travel. However,
last bit was fairly rough with an 18km section being timed to
the second as a test. I
think we went OK.
Despite driving more slowly than normal, we were still caught
out by a dip with a rock in it that put another dent in the
sump guard, and hit the exhaust as well.
Can’t do anything about that now, but we have bled the
clutch which Mark thought was feeling a bit funny. |

 Did
I mention the Capri that rolled and has no windscreen?
I thought of them as the rain came down.
All the old open cars have the appropriate gear for
such an event but the Capri probably hadn’t prepared for that.
We
are in two teams and probably aren’t doing too well in either.
Gerry and Matt in the P76 had oil pressure problem and dropped major time. Peter Lovett is doing OK. In the other team, Joost and Jaques in the Mercedes have major engine problems and are trying to drive it on the best roads they can find to Novosibirsk. Eric and Renee are doing well. |

 Renee bought the bottle of red last night so I’ve got tonight’s. Tonight we are having Grand vin de Boedeaux Reserve. Louise Eschenauer. Label looks good if nothing else. |
