Day 113 – 28th July 2014 Gilgit

Today was the last day of rest, I have recharged and am ready to continue south. Heiko and I have cooked our food every day and now I feel healthy and strong again. The change in my lifestyle is amazing, when I’m not ridding I have absolutely nothing to distract me from rest & peace, […]

Day 112 – 27th July 2014 Gilgit

Abdul is inspiring me to push forward with the life I have been thinking about for a while now, his stories of his amazing life, his home and surroundings makes for the perfect place to build myself up again and prepare for further travel. It’s not just that I eat, relax and smoke hash (only […]

Day 111 – 26th July 2014 Gilgit

He is unlike most Americans I have met which is a compliment, he is quiet and knowledgeable about world […]

Even though I had really pushed myself in recent days […]

Day 107 – 22nd July 2014 altitude 2,800 metres (KKH) Karimiabad

I wanted to wake at 4.30am to see sunrise but slept through the alarm. I woke at 8am and went straight to the balcony and just sat and marvelled at the amazing view. At midday I was sitting on the balcony feeling the baking sun whilst looking over the beautiful Hunza Valley with snow on […]
