Five days ago we went from Moscow to the side of the Pamirs (mountain range in Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, China and Afghanistan). Now we are at the foot. We are
victorprofessor ,
nub1an ,
ashotog and me.
Let me start by saying that we're going in two Land Rover. Behind him is about 4000km. At the moment I am happy with machines. Let's see what happens.

We are Victor and I went to the Range Rover Sport twentieth wheels. And Elijah with Ashot Discovery 4 in the nineteenth.

On the way to the border with Kazakhstan, I almost did not take off, but it is a legendary place food truck in Mordovia and his mistress, I could not photograph. 

The border between Russia and Kazakhstan is passed quickly and easily ... as the Customs Union.
Once again we bring down almost non-stop ... time to make a couple of shots on the go.

So the Kazakhs live after death.


On the way from time to time experience a variety of ... lendroverovskie Adaptive cruise control is very useful thing for lazy people. The machine itself keeps traveling distance to the front. The very slow, she sprints ... Automatic light not only himself but also the turn switches on the remote when a passing oncoming. So, too, for lazy people :) Also in our sport there are 4 cameras in all directions, voice recorder for voice notes and lots of other gourmet frills. The only on-board audio system (otherwise it will not name) could not stand it when I put it through its USB flash drive SD card reader and multi-port hangs ... I had to overload the machine by turning off the ignition and close the doors for a couple of minutes (as we suggested in a tweet): )
Easily passing Kazakh border guards, we were in the neutral zone ... and stuck in traffic of 20 cars on the 8:00 ... Uzbek border guards will not hurry.
Once in Uzbekistan have begun the complexity of the fuel (by the way, our diesel Rovers). In Nukus, gasoline sold in plastic bottles with it, and diesel fuel at all. Began to use stock canister. 
In Bukhara complexity have become a big problem. Diesel fuel was found only through a friend has any connection to the gas stations ... But our problem with diesel flowers were compared with the problems of Uzbeks commute by gasoline Daewoo (in Uzbekistan, the other machines because there is almost no 100% duty), standing in line at the gas station since from the horizon. Gasoline appears only on Mondays and ends too soon. 
Despite the problems with the fuel, the Uzbeks very thoroughly undertook the construction of new roads. And they put the asphalt on the reinforced concrete substrate. Future travelers will be able to come here for a Ferrari ...

And we also still have to contend with the roads and weather.

Only here we had our fight for themselves and people around have to deal with more serious things.


But, no matter what, we met in Uzbekistan, mostly nice people.
That young athletes learn not come down to us ... and the sport in several ways:
Pairwise competition: 
Check-in time: 
Freestyle: 
Not far from the Mount of Nukus is Chilpyk-stool. According to one version of a fortress for another place to bring the dead and left to be devoured by birds, by the canons of the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism. 

For 2000 years the construction of an earthen badly damaged and there was nothing left inside, but I also could not climb up there and enjoy the surroundings.


Although the official checkpoint on the Uzbek-Tajik border running around the clock, with great difficulty we managed to persuade us to miss the 7:00 pm ... The mood of the border was clearly not working.
So we came to Dushanbe, received a pass in the Pamir and went to bed ...
Only now I have left to sleep a lot ... do not leave soon. Ahead of the Pamirs. It is difficult to forecast the road.

PS For our movement can be monitored in real-time tracker of M2M Telematics , or on my satellite tracker
I'll try to write as they become due in twitter or facebook .
