This is the last part of my series of videos from mountain-biking in Mongolia last year (start with Part One if you just found this). In this episode we find ourselves spending several days pushing our bikes down a deserted valley in search of a town whose name we are unable to pronounce, lured on by the faint hope of a big plate of deep-fried dumplings with which to celebrate the end of our trip. I really hope you’ve enjoyed these videos. Now’s the time for you to help me improve the next project. What was your favourite scene or story?… Continue reading →

I unfortunately get ill and we have to lay up for a couple of days in the town of Moron, and then we decide to head north to Lake Khovsgol. Please leave your comments below. Continue reading →

My main reason for producing these videos has been to practice the craft of editing, so your feedback on the series would really help… Continue reading →
