    The last video of my 2013 cycling trip across central Asia. I ride the infamous Pamir Highway through remote Tajikistan and the Pamir mountains.
    It's high, dry and wild - perfect for adventure cycling!
    I had a pretty rough time of it - never enough water, crazy headwinds and a miserable night squatting in a shipping container - but of course it all feels worth it afterwards :)
    For more on this wonderful trip, see my blog post on Cycling the Pamir Highway!

    In a situation like yours, you need happiness in searching for Islam and joining it. You will be very happy

    I hope this message finds you in good health. Absolutely EPIC adventure! Totally in awe of your trip. I think that EXTRA credit is deserved for making the EXTRA effort to collect such wonderful footage and photos to share with us. I am very much aware of how 'easy' it seems to film such a trip, and the hidden strain and logistical challenges it brings. In short, thank you for this! P.S. Very much enjoyed the write up on your website

    This is epic! I can't begin to think of how I'd have gotten out of that cabin mate! Thanks for taking the time to edit and share.

      @@TheAdventurousBen least by doing something you have a chance to change it. I think your statement may stay with me when times are hard on my bike. Its not always rosey is it.

      @@AllenBoardman absolutely right. Travelling by bike definitely hits both the highest highs and the lowest lows.

    Haha, just watched your UTMB 50 vid and saw you had also done the Pamir. (I rode it on my way from UK to Aus) good video and brought back memories. Thanks

      Haha wow that’s great. Just looked at your channel and saw the ‘10 highest peaks’ vid. I went and did the ‘16’ (over 2 days) down there last year too 😅.

    I slept in a shipping container once that had a big padded church pew in it. I wedged a big rod in the door so I couldn't be locked in & slept on the church pew. Super comfy.

      Yes it was somewhere around here I think. That was after I was there though.
