25.01.2022 VIDEO: Tajikistan's Wakhan Valley The Wakhan Valley, the starkly beautiful 'roof of the world' Pamir's, the contrasting lushness of the corridor villages and the connecting M41 Pamir Highway made Tajikistan arguably one of the most exciting destinations across our motorcycle adventure. This video documents our spectacular ride from Murghab to Langar. The tracks were treacherous but it was worth the risk - the scenery is 'off-the-dial.... http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/ Stay tuned for more video footage.

21.01.2022 The Caucasus: Azerbaijan and Georgia The Caucasus region is a mountain range between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea and is considered to be the world's most ethnically diverse region. Over eight days we rode through Azerbaijan and Georgia. We had planned to detour into Armenia for a few days but cancelled this plan in favour of more time on the coast of Croatia - something we'd been dreaming about when riding through the Iranian Desert!

21.01.2022 Into the Unknown: Iran (Part Two) See our blog from our travels from Shiraz to the Caspian Sea at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

20.01.2022 Afghanistan? Why not? Check out our video of our ride through the Wakhan Corridor.

20.01.2022 Turkey: The Black Sea Coast, Istanbul and Gallipoli We rode along the Black Sea coastline, hung out with fellow travellers in Trabzon, got motion sickness from too many corners, serviced our bikes, camped in some sweet spots, got stuck in Istanbul traffic for hours and explored the Gallipoli battlefields. Check out our blog at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

18.01.2022 In Tajikistan we ran into Sedat and Mehmet, two BMW riders from Turkey. It was good to see them again in their hometown. Thanks for the hospitality!

17.01.2022 The Balkans Two failed attempts to enter Greece, great Bulgarian food, more border troubles entering Macedonia, lots of camping, crap Albanian roads and the beauty of Montenegro and Croatia. See our blog at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

16.01.2022 Into the Unknown: Iran (Part One) If we'd made our decision to travel to Iran based on popular advice we would have never visited. Luckily we did visit. It was exciting to "conquer the unknown" and travel across the country that is neither 'East' nor 'West' and experience the culture, meet the people, see the sights, learn some of the history, and ultimately form our own opinions based on actual experiences. And the experiences were extraordinary. See our blog at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

16.01.2022 A Country of Contrasts: Turkmenistan The most mysterious and least travelled of Central Asia's "Stans", Turkmenistan is a country of stark contrasts. We rode through poverty stricken towns and into the futuristic and ultra-modern City of Ashgabat. See our blog at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

16.01.2022 Thanks #WINNews for airing our story.

14.01.2022 Mongolia - an adventure riders dream! http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

14.01.2022 Uzbekistan - Central Asia's cradle of culture for more than two millennia, and home to a suite of architectural wonders and ancient cities that were once lynchpins on the Silk Road. Wish I was back there on the KLR... https://youtu.be/_kABf4Ni7Vo

13.01.2022 If we'd made our decision to travel to Iran based on popular advice we would have never visited. Luckily we did visit. It was exciting to "conquer the unknown" and travel across the country that is neither 'East' nor 'West' and experience first-hand the culture, meet the people, see the sights, learn some of the history, and ultimately form our own opinions based on actual experiences. And the experiences were extraordinary.

13.01.2022 After the final travails exiting Mongolia we arrived back in Russia. Despite essentially being a necessary addition to the route to get us into Kazakhstan, this region of Russia proved to be a highlight.

11.01.2022 Europe: Slovenia to the UK Before we knew it we were back on the tourist trail.

05.01.2022 Tajikistan and the Mighty Pamirs From Kyrgyzstan we rode the notorious M41 Highway into Tajikistan's Pamir Mountains and then down into the Wakhan Valley alongside Afghanistan. See our blog at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

01.01.2022 Wonders of the Silk Road: Uzbekistan Ancient cities, midnight highway puncture repairs, architectural wonders, 50 degree desert heat and intense border crossing searches were some of the highlights and (not so) highlights of our ride through Uzbekistan. See our blog at http://www.onwardsupwards.com.au/

01.01.2022 Where East meets West! In Turkey we rode along the Black Sea coastline, hung out with fellow travellers in Trabzon, got motion sickness from too many corners around Amasra, serviced our bikes, camped in some sweet spots, got stuck in Istanbul traffic for hours and explored the Gallipoli battlefields.

01.01.2022 Back on the tourist trail. Sunbaking on the balmy shores of the Adriatic Sea and swimming in crystal clear water, appreciating the mountainous landscapes and villages, enjoying a few aperol spritzes with old friends, and generally relaxing, Croatia was what we had been dreaming about!
