The Route Map shows our nightly stops on a nice big map. You can zoom in and out, scroll around and even see the route on satellite photos if you want. I'm pretty proud of this one...
The Track Log is (will be) a bunch of links (.kml files for the techies) that will project our track, to the nearest few metres, onto a virtual globe with enough detail to see individual cars on a road. It's really very impressive if we ever get round to it.
The ever popular diary. Humour, fact, fiction, boredom, excitement, indifference, annoyance, anger, annoyance, repetition, all rolled up into one big messy lump.
None of us are great diarists, but we will keep a brief diary of what happens to us and if we can get the IT to work (!) we will update our diary online regularly. Click here for the diary homepage, from which there are links to take you to on to our regular musings. Not a proper blog, but hey....
Yes, some photos! Check out the pictures homepage, which now has quite a stock.
We will have a small (and very bombproof!) laptop with us on the road, along with some fancy gizmos which should allow us to connect to the internet and upload intermittent updates from pretty much anywhere, though very slow data transfer rates mean that "text only" will probably be the order of the day. Well, that's the theory! We'll let you know how well it works...
Well the sat phone was a very useless and very expensive way of updating the website, so WiFi and GPRS are the only ways we can update. This means the only time we can update in Mongolia is when we are sat in one of three places in Ulaan Baatar that have WiFi.
