Dunc. With your hair and beard you look like the sort of Aryan that will be worth many camels when someone trades you in...surely only a matter of time. I hope you get to watch Man U lose on Wednesday first :)

Duncan - are you aware you have developed Rafa Benitez-style facial hair?

The photos are amazing! Very jealous, although a stunningly sunny bank holiday weekend is putting me in a good mood. See you soon, Ax

Clint, those roots need a touch-up !

Awesome photos! Sounds like the paleo diet's taking a bit of a pasting though ;o)

Duncan and Laura,

I'm a friend of Will Mayes and he mentioned that you were in Samarkand at the momet.

Bit of a random question, but I'm coming to Uzbekistan in August and am having a little trouble getting ma letter of invitaion as I don't know my exact dates. Can I ask how you got one so you could get your visas?

Currently trying to sort out a travel agent, but having issues and heading to India with Will on Tuesday...

Any help would be of great help and I canthank you by getting Will absolutely annihilated in Delhi...

Cheers,

Steve

I just rated your last blog post 5/5, and now it has an average rating of 4/5. Which of your disloyal friends only rated it 3/5?

Curb the carbs, man, curb the carbs...

I'm dying to know - what did the yak do next?

"Neither unpleasant nor attractive or even stylish. Very plain."

Does it have an out-of-town Argos Extra though, alongside a large Sainsbury's? It sounds a lot like Didcot.

Re: the entry for Khorog. I have been racking my brains to work out which footballer you look like. I am somewhat concerned it might be Stefan Effenberg...

Hope you find a 'Museum of Bread' soon.

Guys,

Come round for tea if you are in the vicinity. I would love to re-live the experience of the 1991 crash on the Champs Elysees with you both.

Never forget - 'if you're going to finish first - first you've gotta finish.'

Wow! Respect to the Pamirs Highway (and all other high altitude roads in the region).
