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.

Landing Approach to Humde Airport

Some cheaters fly in to Humde to see the mountains and then fly out again.

By now the scenery was becoming increasingly sparse and Tibetan.

One of the Annapurnas

There were simply too many mountains around for me to keep an accurate recollection of all their names. This is either Annapurna II, III, or IV.

For acclimatisation reasons we spent a day climbing up to a monastary near Manang. This view is from halfway up looking westwards.

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..
