Peking to Paris 2007 news
Catch up with the updates from the team as they drive from Beijing to Paris
- Geoff R reports in from Moscow
- Apparently typing on the Russian keyboards in internet cafes is challenging as they are not "qwerty", not surprisingly. Hopefully we'll get some more detailed summary reports up from the Fiats and the Capri over this week.
- A summary from Novosobirsk (Russia)
- Another quick summary of the 3 days from Irkutsk to Novosobirsk from Geoff Ridley.
- Our intrepid reporter reporting in from Irkutsk (Russia)
- Some of our Peking to Paris people have been keeping us up to date on their blogs using their satellite phones. Geoff R is reporting in from an internet cafe and sums up the whole of Mongolia in these few words! See the full reports on the teams various blogs (Peking to Paris links page on left). Summary reports will be added here as time allows.
- Day 12: Irkutsk to Alzamay
- This proved to be an extremely challenging day with the roads more suitable for 4WD than the classic cars that our Peking to Paris expeditioners are in. Thank you Team Fiat for the updates!
- Day 11: Irkutsk
- The Peking to Paris expeditioners have a day off in this city to rest, recuperate and be interviewed on TV!
