ETAP-1 Report
The rally got off to a fine start from Ulaanbaatar with great weather!
However, there was a livestock disease outbreak in the SS1 area which made entry into that area impossible so SS1 had to be cancelled and everyone took the detour heading toward SS2. It was a discouraging start to the rally and what impact cancelling this section will have is impossible to guess right now. Our bivouac is a gel (portable nomad house also called yurt) camp relatively close the environmentally protected zone at Dalanzadgad.
