The river crossings felt endless, we soon learnt to cross where any other vehicles had been and worn some of the slippy algae off the rocks and not neccesarily at the shallowest point.
Free of the river we climb higher.
Up on the high pastures I'm slightly unsure of the direction to take, there was a choice of two valleys. I'd tried to make some waypoints on the GPS the previous evening, they indicated left but the most worn track went straight ahead.
We'd learnt early on in Mongolia that when in doubt, take the most used track, it'll go somewhere and even if it wasn't where you wanted, well does it matter
We came across this family who were dismantling their ger, in fact their whole home, to move on elsewhere.
I ask them the direction to take, the answer was vague, confusing matters further so went with gut feeling which is often right one.
