We then headed upstairs to the mess room where they had laid a spread of food on for us, which considering we were due to head into the village for a meal later on was a bit daunting. The Chief was putting the Vodka away like water and insisted on giving us shot after shot after shot, to the point where I was feeling quite merry!
After this our guide and driver, Rob, invited us to go for a ride off-road in the Ural! Now as much as I love my hobby, going off road across sand and undergrowth in a 1970s Soviet 6 wheeler AFTER eating a pile of food AND downing Vodka didn't appeal, but our manners meant we didn't say no so off we went.
What followed was probably the most hair-raising (but enjoyable) ride we ever had. The Ural was a monster and could tackle any terrain with ease. I took a short video, it doesn't really do the ride justice but you get the idea....
