We're here!!!!!
Well, the short story is, we made it! Absolutely mad dash through India, and apart from us becoming very familiar with how to find a welder in a village in the arse end of nowehere, Sheepie the 'shaw did a sterling job of the second half.
We joined up to make a little convoy of 5 brave rickshaws to spend the last day snaking along the mountain road from the beautiful little town of Tansen into Pokhara. 2 x Farce India, Baby Tuk and Pappadom, half of the BombAy Team and The Black Sheep were proud to arrive on the afternoon of the 24th, one day early, in joint 26th! More comprehensive blog and photos to follow, we're off to a bakery to eat well deserved cakes.

hideous roads led us to busiest smellierv city yet. Only 100km to the border though so hope for better roads in the morning.

had proper breakfast this morning rather than our usual 10rupee pack of biscuits on the road. Choco pops never tasted so good.
