Finished uni? Too lazy to get a job? Got a passion to see the world? Why not run away and try to cross the world from Bangkok to London without flying! Starting on January 11, 2007 I set out to do just that with my mate Jeff. Bangkok, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, a six month sojourn in China, Mongolia, Nepal and India have happened already. Who knows where this new year will find me. See the World.... full info

Matty's Jelly Bean Man Impression

My attempt at warm clothing for the walk over the pass.

Sunrise at High Camp

An hour and a half into the walk and the sun finally began to rise.

High Camp

High Camp, at 4950m is the last town before the top. You can just see it on the left.

Climbing Towards the Pass

It doesn't look that steep, but when you're above 5000m everything is steep.

Keep on Climbing

Higher up the pass.

Is There an End?

The path seemed to keep on going and going, higher and higher.

Whoops, That Went a Bit High

The bounce caught me off guard. Thankfully, the resulting lob fell clear of any fielders. Photo courtesy of Dad.

Nepali Batting Style

Interesting. . . check out where the ball ended up; I very nearly had him with that delivery. Photo courtesy of Dad.

Nothing compaired to Tazzy
Top story... I am sure that we will all hear from Ben how he saved the day on more than one occasion.... I can hear all the Donkey stories now.... Some one needs to take some round up for those weeds... looks like an infestation. Stay safe and merry X-mass to all.

"the bee didn't stand a chance"
Matty, you must be desperate for a MATTY IS FAT comment, re: sitting on a bee. A half-dozen situation-appropriate jibes spring to mind immediately and I never even got into the whole thing. I can only imagine how many more opportunities the situation presents for the highly trained Matty-is-fat commentators. Have a great Christmas etc...!

Bridge Broken
Have just heard that one of those bridges you cross has collapsed.. Understand it is a bigger one but due to the name and location in the news I could not recall if you were in the area.. Stay safe..
