We stopped by a river to fill up the water tanks this morning. Suddenly from having seen no-one for 48hrs we had three other overlanders and three different vehicle styles turn up! Which of these four rigs would you choose and why? #overlandlife #overlandfamily #overlanding

Since we were parked literally in the middle of nowhere (we didn’t see or hear anything or anyone for 48hrs) I decided it was time for Jess to have a drone flying lesson. I’m the drone pilot, but also the more extreme off road driver, so I want to get Jess flying the drone too, so it’s not all on me. 3minutes in to her first flight… “how the f*** do you do this while we’re bouncing down the road in a moving truck and still keep the moving truck in the frame? 🤯” I’ll take that as a compliment that it’s not as easy as it looks 🤣 Will have to get her more practice. #drone #photography #overlanding

Wow! Thanks for following along all of you … we’ve just crossed 500 followers (sorry for missing whoever was the 500th!) Onwards to further growth of Nostr 🙌 This was us at Ak Baital pass, Tajikistan. #grownostr #overlanding

📍Lenin Peak, Kyrgyzstan I promised you some more Kyrgyzstan back catalog and since some of you liked the video format I figured I’d remix the video and collage style in one. Lenin Peak at 7134m is actually one of the easier mountains over 7000m to climb with no technical climbing needed on its main routes. Because of this and the well established base camps, it’s often used for training by folks heading to K2 or Everest. Like this style? Want more like this? #kyrgyzstan #overlandlife #travelfacts #photography

Postcards from Tajikistan… #1 If these mountains could only speak, the things they’d have seen would be enough to fill a library of books. Why? Because this is the Pamir Highway, part of the northern section of the ancient silk route, described by Marco Polo in the 13th Century. In fact, if you look closely at the bottom picture you may just be able to make out a Caravanserai, or ancient hotel. This section, about 40km north of Murghab, makes it very obvious to see why it was a popular route - the clear, wide valley pass, with a river running through it to provide drinking water, would have given a “path of least resistance” while travelling, even if that valley floor is at an altitude of 4000m, so the air is thin and movement, until you’re acclimated, steals your breath and leaves you needing a sit down in the shade. Shade arguably being the one thing this area is missing due to an environment that resembles a high altitude desert. #photography #silkroute #overlanding #tajikistan #borderlessliving
