Another border crossing day. Back in 2009, this had been horrific conditions, paddling through deep snow. Now it was still pretty cold up there – it’s still 4,000m plus, but the snow had disappeared. Only to be replaced by the deepest, stickiest mud quagmire that I have ever encountered on what was supposed to be a road.
I guess because the road is in no-man’s land, it’s totally uncared for.
The group slithered past trucks which had tried to get up but just got stuck and wedged in. Did I say no snow? Stupid me. We get to our home-stay in Kyrgyzstan and by the time we wake up there is four inches of snow over everything.
