We have heard a lot of rumours about this 15 km tunnel filled with water and no lights, and had decided to go the longer route over the mountain instead. Unfortunately upon arrival the road was closed because of snow, so it had to be the tunnel or going back to Turkmenistan. We got some workers to towe both cars through. Just to put you all at ease, the tunnel was that bad, and it collapsed last year. Oh, and water was coming down through the roof. @

Finally managed to escape very sweet family after the dad had downed half bottle of vodka at 6 am. Very excited about being on the road again to then find out that the only bridge going towards Dushambe was closed until 7 pm... Another day lost we camped with some bikers overnight. Next morning very excited about being on the road again, only to find a piece of string and to guards saying we cant go anywhere yet... Yey!

Just entered Tajikistan, and got invited to have tea with a really lovely family. As we wanted to leave for Dushambe today, we found it very difficult to leave as they served us food and vodka. We now have to stay the night. Hopefully - the wife was talking about wanting us here for 4 more nights. To be continued.....

Poor Patrick is not very happy with the petrol provided in these countries, had a tantrum just as we got to a passing. Police had to push him out of the way. Up and running again we booked in to a very posh hotel in Samarkand. This is life!

Had trouble at the border as one of the boys had something wrong with his visa. Been told that we have to in back to Iran, which we can't. So we got stuck for a couple of hours until they gave in and let him through by paying 70 USD extra...Big drinking session in Ashgabad tonight as we met 3 other teams as well. Wicked!

Catterick Caravans
“ACCORDING to Chris and Matthew Kinsell, brothers and directors of family-run firm Catterick Caravans Outdoor Leisure World, the secret to long-term business success is to put your customers first and to constantly strive to improve the quality of services you provide. For Chris and Matthew the third generation of the Kinsell family to work in the caravan trade at this store in Catterick Bridge, North Yorkshire this philosophy has provided a solid base from which the firm has been able to grow and prosper over the past 24 years. “We are passionate about customer satisfaction and going that extra mile to ensure our customers buy exactly what they want and need,” said Chris. “Many of our customers have seen the business and family grow over the years, returning time and time again to receive the kind of fair deal and warm, friendly service that they’ve come to know and expect.” This large and fiercely loyal customer base has helped Catterick Caravans to become a nationally recognised brand and increase its buying power in the industry. This, in turn, has enabled the company to offer top-quality products at the lowest possible prices. “It’s a win-win situation,” said Chris.
