Couldn't get worse?
So.......... there was worse than Tajikstan! Your nerves must have been shattered after negotiating such distances of challenging terrain.. David & Diana

sandy!!!
Hope someone hosed you down on a nice warm sunny day - you sure look dusty. Amazing scenery yet again. Somehow I thought Tibet was going to be green and lush and hilly - forgot that such high altitude precludes trees and lush vegetation. The service station looks fun - very decorative 'roof'. See you soon! Carol and James.

Amazing
Omigod! I think if Max and I had been doing this we would have parted company by now. Scenery looks absolutely fantastic but what a price to pay in shattered nerves and sheer exhaustion! Big respect for getting through it.

Sea Gulls over Serento!
Enjoyed video play and the marvels of the fast evolving new technology. Sea gulls in Tibet! ??? well you provide the photographic evidence and presumably some of the lakes are where they feed? The photos with Yaks give the impression they don't have much to eat either........ but they are there, so must have food of sorts. Style of commentary much appreciated and indicates an embryonic talent.............you will have to publish Lorraine. David & Di

Fantastic Milky Way
Did you folk or the bikes suffer any altitude sickness etc? The Milky Way without any semblance of light pollution sounds brilliant ( excuse the pun )

Wow! - again!! what an amazing day, and what fantastic scenery along with the difficult conditions. Tootling around N Yorks will be very sedate after this! Well done. Will China be plain biking? Looking forward to the next instalment. Carol and James.

We knew it was tough - but this?
Hi Ed & Lorraine Ever so pleased that you're still with us and still battling through. I'm not so jealous now - but what an achievement. Your current adventure reminds me of the slogan on the back of Paul's bike - Nuckinfuts ! Keep it up - in all senses of the word. Best regards & the same to Kev, Jeff and all. Chris & Danielle

Pamir highway
Wow you are flying high! The road looked a bit better till you got to the corrugations - that can't be much fun on a motorbike - it never was in a car or landrover either!. The yak seems bigger than I expected. You seem to be missing summer up there in those high plateaus - we're having a bit of a heatwave as I expect you've heard! Look forward to the next blog.

Mud
We all know how much you and Ed like rolling around in the mud together - you must be in your element! Looks fantastic. We're in the Black Forest on the GS at the moment - a walk in the park compared to what you lot are up to! Keep 'em coming - love to everyone from Max & Christine.

Hi
The mountain routes look scarier than anything we did on TransAm so well done by surviving. Life will be so dull on returning, so I bet you are planning the next one already. How are the rest of the team faring? we want more Aaron gossip! You must be close to the end by now, so keep safe. Nigel

B****Y H***!
Maybe I'm not so envious after all! What a day though. Lorraine- you're made of stainless steel! Now we're starting to cross our fingers that all keeps going as well as it has for you because after the TransAm we know what the photos really mean - worse than we ever encountered and more!

I'm aching with envy. Whatever you do - don't light up when you're sitting on a bucket - you never know what was in it last! Still, it's not too bad here in midgieland! Cheers Chris & Danielle
