• Ride and then hike!!

    September 6 in Mongolia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    In the morning we ride to the next camp. The morning has dawned sunny and everything has dried overnight. We ride over hills.

    We have lunch at camp, then get driven in the back of a truck up to a carpark. We do an hour's hike to a temple up in the hills.
    Then hike back!!
    Big day.

    Tonight we have a traditional Mongolian " barbeque". They cook the meat and veg in a large pot that is heated with hot stones.
    There are other groups here tonight passing through. They are mostly French, and are driving in 4WD with guides. We don't mix.
    Apparently " the boss" of our guides are here, but that's not obvious to us.
    They also cook up offal which the locals eat. Some of our group sample a bit too, but not me.
