Kyrgyzstan Adventures

Flying from Istanbul to Bishkek was a red eye affair landing in at 1:30am and bunking down on the floor with a bunch of Slovenien climbers. The next morning I met up with the Dragoman overland people and started my central asian adventure! We are travelling overland from Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan to Kathmandu in Nepal going through China, Pakistan and India to get there. Mainly English people on the trip with a Norwegien, Canadian, Australian and a Kiwi rounding out the rest.

Happy chappy climbing above Tash Rabet so he gets out of dinner.

Another happy scrambler

Not sure whether hes fallen out with his horse or cant decide which way to go

There were fantastically wide valleys and rough roads on the way south through Kyrgyzstan

These crazy Dutchys were bumping along in their Herbies on a a Amsterdam to Beijing charity rally!
