UPDATE Tuesday at 4pm BST: More photos have been added to the Festival of Slow Mongol Rally launch gallery and they are crackers, including the Mongolian wrestling and more of the teams.
If you're a facebooker you can also keep an eye on proceedings by signing up to The Adventurists' page and we've even decided to use something the hip and trendy online types call the Twitter to help spread the word about the fight to make the world less boring. You can find our random thoughts right here.
The teams are now flooding into the grounds of Klenova Castle for the gargantuan feast and party known as Czechout. On the way their updates have been coming in to the Mongol Rally website and there have already been some classics – here are some of the highlights so far:
Not far from Klenova castle. Oh shit, we lost our Pith helmets in a lay-by

Frankfurt - Germany Just been pulled over by the police near the Czech border in Bovaria. They did kindly point out we're not on the road we thought we were, so Lee thanked them by driving away on the wrong side of the road. Classic!
