Cheers guys... The Kakoram pass shut a couple of days after I got over it due to snow. But there's good news, the Iran visa situation seems to have got a bit better, I have heard about people getting them in about 10 days or so. Hopefully they are not still declining people as was happening earlier in the year. And you can get a bike through now apparently, there was a notice at the embassy in Islamabad. It is a cash deposit, either I get it back or it goes to their nuclear program!! Better than loosing the bike though. Hopefully also turning up is half the battle... So I'm currently in Balochistan, I met someone to bike to Quetta with, but there I will be waiting for the answer, so I'll try and upload some photos there.

Round here things have got a bit heavy with armed guards etc. Today we had an armed police car flashing it's lights at everything - a great way to get past trucks!!
