Another fantastic day covering miles and miles Siberian wooded hillside (with the odd meadow imbetween);
360 miles was the target, and to start with the first 100 miles were on perfect new tarmac roads,although we had to throttle back as we were running low on fuel - there really was a lot of nothing!! 90km running on reserve fuel, and we finally located a fuel station - just as well, as there were very few stations after that one.
Whilst meandering the Siberan hills, the old brain started working, and we recalculated the amount of Roubles required to buy fuel to get us the 2400km to Vladivostock, so we diverted to Chernyshevsk to get cash;
After a quick refill of fuel, Caroline led the way, with instructions to stop at the next roadside cafe. After 130 miles of gravel roads and rough broken, potholed dirt tracks, she finally stoppped on a new bridge crossing a river;
Hungry and thirsty, we shared the water and raisins we had, then set off again. Within 300m around the very next hill, was a cafe and fuel station!!
