G – Reporting
So last day in Kyrgyzstan,
and a little sad to be leaving but also excited about the upcoming Pamirs,
speaking of which was why we stared our day in Osh Bazaar buying a duvet and a
flask for hot water as with passes up to 4600M(15000ft) it was going to be
cold.
Shopping done it
was onto Sary-Tash the last town before the border and our camping location for
the night, the trip there was stunning with ever higher mountain passes and one
point a 3km tunnel with no lighting and by the smell very little if any ventilation!
Sary-Tash its
self was a tiny barren windswept place set against the stunning back drop of
the Pamir Mountains which looked like a wall on the horizon, Using the last of
our Kyrgyz som to buy gas we headed out of town for about 5km find a place to
camp in a dry river channel which got us and the truck out of the wind.
Then it was just
a case of cooking the last of sausages, eating and then getting into bed as
soon as possible as we were at 3000m (10,100ft) and the temperature was dropping
fast lucky im happy to report our new duvet was fantastic and once in bed we
were toasty!
