Orchard Camp

Pulled up in an orchard of some description. There were creeks, probably irrigation channels flowing through the whole thing and a constant stream of locals doing their thing. Horses being the main form of transport meant lots of them riding past. The Kyrgs are not too fond of having their photos taken but this guy was more than happy to pose. Their traditional hats are apparently fashionable. Darren would not even give one a go.

Photos

The mornings are getting cold now
We knew we were pushing the end of the 'season to get through China, snow is falling on the passes now so we are feeling it.

Darren cleaning the car
This shot was just before he worked out the bank was very slippery and ended up with a splash in the creek

Saddles are not needed
Watching the locals mount by kicking their legs over is impressive, Darren gave me a leg up. Seems this one only spoke Russian which is a problem

Cows twice per day
Seems we camped on the cow track, they were not deterred and just surrounded us

Kryg Gentleman in his traditional hat
No need for helmet, or saddle or much else really
