Crossing The Deosai Plains

The road from Astore to Skardu. The night ambled into dawn as we slept on an unsure footing then the sounds, smells and light chiselled their way into my eyelids, the smells of three men in a confined space opened my nostrils that in turn popped my eyelids open,...

Wedding bells,coasters & slides.

Cars dressed in flowers as young couples celebrate their union , entourage in tow so they fill the streets with colour , the lack of scent but not colour from the flowers stuck to the metal, for plastic can only mimic nature from a distance, the dressed up cars range...

To the highground Bomber

Wiping the sleep from my eyes, sleeping shorts, T- shirt and nicked hotel slippers I make my way out into the clear morning in search of that hot water to wash the night’s sleep and dreams from body and mind, into the kitchen I wonder to find the owner who has...

Riding for Naran

After a great night out and well rested we hit the road , luckily for us the traffic was light due to the fact that we left really early by Pakistan standards  as things only kick off  around ten or eleven so being on the road by 08h30 gave us both lanes in places...

Islamabad to Abbottabad

It was not an early start and our riding posse left the quiet streets of the suburbs after 11h00, four riders and our trusted two stokes hit the streets of Islamabad, being my first time riding something this old took a bit of getting used to, nothing that the streets...
