The ferry is made up of two old pontoon bridge floats supporting a wooden platform to carry the vehicles. By angling the ferry to the flow, the force of the water pushes the ferry across the river. The cable stops the whole thing floating off down stream. It took minimal pulling on the cable to set the ferry in motion. Applied mechanics, you see.
First it was the turn of the Hyundi. Getting the car on to the ferry was the hairiest moment with the vehicle tending to push the ferry away from the bank.
Then came the Land Cruise with the rest of the gang.
Dadal is situated between to large rivers either of which you have to cross to reach the town. Bikes, no problem and on the return the journey we did see the ferry take two cars at once, but lorries? I don’t think so. Before this part of Mongolia
OK. We'd better tell Health and Safety. Overloading the bike contary to Construction and Use Regulations and no helmets. Plus exposing a minor to risk of physical endangerment. Give us the low-down Dave. Name the names.
ReplyDeleteOh lord. What a slip. But I cannot name the names. It is against the photographers code of ethics, you see .
