A mere 11 months after leaving for Mongolia; only 10 after arriving in Ulaanbaataar, I have finally begun blogging about our adventure.
I was able to post limited messages from the road via SMS to the official charity website whilst we were away; I've always intended to flesh out the story in greater detail so that when I'm old and doddery, I can look back and remind myself that we actually did it.
As we approach the anniversary of departure, and try to quell the frustration and jealousy of not being involved this year, it seemed appropriate to finally commit what memories remain to type.
It's over at http://steppe-by-steppe.blogspot.com - I'm chucking on the build up at the moment so there is a lot of posting going on. Eventually, as I inevitably get less productive, I expect to add an update every few days or so. I think I can repost the entries to here, so will do so if I think it's worth reading.
The idea of the Steppe by Steppe blog is to bring together memories, photos, music and anything else that is significant of our 5 week road trip, so that in years to come we can look back and go "oooh" - who knows, maybe someone might even come across it when they're considering doing something similar, and realise that you don't have to be particularly capable to do so.
