Mongol Rally Video Series on Gadling

by Tommy on: 21 Oct 2011 categories: Mongol Rally,

A rather adventurous chap going by the name of Stephen Greenwood was chosen by The Adventurists to be flown right out to the borders of Mongolia with one aim - to hitchhike his way back to Ulaanbaatar. Armed with nothing more than a motionvideo camera - nothing, not even underpants, he begins his wobbly journey.

Transmongolia - Part One: USA to RPGs in 24 hours -  The first part in a five part series following Stephen's Mongolian leg of the mighty Mongol Rally. A flight to Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia and within 24 hours he was firing an RPG.

Transmongolia - Part Two: Hitching a Ride - Part 2 of the series sees Stephen hop on a prop plane for a 2 1/2 hour flight to Ölgii where his 5 day hitchhike back to Ulaanbaatar begins... a car crash with a cow, searing desert heat, dreadfully dire roads and a Rally breakdown ensue.

Transmongolia - Part Three: The Road to China - The third instalment of Transmongolia begins with river crossings and horrendous roads interrupted with the unexpected discovery of a brand new asphalt road. Hundreds of miles later the team realise they are heading right for the Chinese border, in completely the wrong direction.

Transmongolia - Part Four: Traversing the Steppe - After their close encounter with the Chinese border Stephen and the team now find their way in the right direction headed for Ulaanbaatar with only a few days to go till the end of the Mongol Rally.

Transmongolia - Part Five:  The Finish Line - The final episode sees Stephen and the team complete the Mongol Rally and reach the Finish Line in Ulaanbaatar.
