Day 8
410km
Dust
Woke up to find lambs still alive. Packed up. Checked out the beacon tower and a stretch of Yuan wall. Very impressive.
Headed back to Beijing. A long day.
Around half the time spent on crappy roads.
All very hot, very dusty.
Bikes held out and made it back in one piece.

Overall a great trip.
Had to adjust the route a little, but saw some great scenery.
Managed to camp all but the first night and found great camping spots.
The bikes performed very well. The Jialing had a couple of problems, but I can't help thinking its main drawback for this kind of trip is the tank which holds approximately one thimbleful of petrol.
Thanks to Fahni for excellent company, gourmet food and superb navigation.

Total distance 2142km
