Welcome to Stories From The Road!

One of my new year's resolutions was to improve my storytelling. So I decided to record a story each week from my journey. If you're interested in my Bristol2Beijing expedition, please listen and enjoy!

This week, hear about the encounter my nose had with a motorbike. Yes, it's exactly as you imagine...

This week: I recount my on-the-bike experience of something that affects every traveller who comes to India: the infamous Delhi Belly.

Welcome to Stories From The Road!

One of my new year's resolutions was to improve my storytelling. So I decided to record a story each week from my journey. I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself, so I kept them to myself for a while, but now... well, if you're interested, please listen and enjoy!

They're less polished but I hope the stories make up for that!

In this episode: how I met Dev Mukharjee, the CanLiver who cycled 1000km with me across India in jeans and a jumper.

This week TJ Mitchell and I reflect on our 900 kilometre journey through Pakistan - including bumpy roads, police escorts and giving a talk at Malala's school.

Listen to find out why I "threw TJ under the bus" and what TJ feels about his Pakistan journey now he's back in the UK.

It's a good'un!

Bristol2Beijing is back! After a break in the UK, Chris and I are again cycling towards Beijing, and now we are in Pakistan. Joining me for this leg of the journey is TJ, a friend from uni. We discuss our first impressions of Pakistan, the sights from the Khunjerab Pass, and what makes the apples so special.

Enjoy!

This week Luke recounts the difficulties he faced in Dushanbe airport. Would he be able to get Chris the tandem, his five bags - together weighing 70kg - and himself back to the UK?

I'm trying something new here! This episode I'm telling a story, about a time in mountainous Kyrgyzstan when my brakes didn't work. Enough said.

Enjoy!

Over the last week cycling has been replaced by coffee. As we prepare to leave the city of Almaty and say goodbye to Kazakhstan, we reflect on the people we have met and the places we've visited since arriving in this city. Plus, as we celebrate the half-way point of the ride listen to our thoughts on the B2B Challenge over the weekend.

Tune in to listen to tales from our travels between Shymkent and Almaty in Kazakhstan, plus our first impressions of this city - once the capital of Kazakhstan - nestled in the mountains!

Kate joins Luke in Tashkent and together they cycle across the border into Kazakhstan, and reach Shymkent, discovering a world very different from Borat.

We discuss our impressions of Tashkent and Shymkent, what happened to Luke's guest traveller and how Kate has found cycling in Central Asia's summer heat!
