Well, I wish we could have done our trip in Nepal on a bike - I carried my rucksack the whole way up and we didn't get as high as you are now!! Sounds like Helga will have been completely replaced by the time you get back - you could sell it as a 2007 model!! Take care both of you. I hope Tasha is enjoying it as much as I know you will be Dave! Love mum xxx

That message could barely have been less substantive.

Glad to hear that you are safe!

Madster only got one A in GCSE's

'corse the other 10 were A*

Good stuff so far, you pair of towels! Keep in touch coz you know how ricky-diculously mum gets worried. She was bricking it after 2 days - wondering if she should come out!! Haha. Anyway, watch out for volcanoes in India - they can just sprout from nothing.I'm doing some TV work today - just a little known channel called ITV! That's all! Should be a bit of fun.Look forward to hearing from you both soon.

*Affectionate slap round the chops*

Thanks for the latest blog post - that is what we need to know - your plans and the timeframes. Thanks Dave & Tasha! The weather here has turned very autumnal - cool, grey and cloudy so you are missing nothing! Take care, thanks for the wonderful pics and videos, and we all look forward to the next episode!! Love mum xxx

I've just noticed Dave that Helga has got an exhaust guard. Good move. No more Lee Enfield tattoos eh?

ait tash, dave...sounds like its going wonderfully, that pass looked a bit mentally high is it not freezing?

good that u did get in touch, everyone was going a tad crazy, i didnt even think about it i must confess until davids mum sent out the search parties...then i felt like a terrible sister for clearly not worrying!

im rather jealous of you right now tho...looks so much fun, but i am suprised the bikes making it through rivers..

lots of love fazxxxxxxxx

Great videos and photos. Lets have more if the old 1GB will permit.It looks just like my home county of Norfolk

Hello from your STA blog compatriots Dan and Beth. Looks like you guys are having a blast. We're going for a lower profile trip with no Embassy/High Commission contact made as of yet although maybe my Mum will up her game at some point.

That road is indeed crazy. Good luck!

How was 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'? An improvement on the first one?

Hi, looks interesting Tasha, but not as dangerous as Abi's honeymoon in a mexico hotel, bumped into her parents and a Cat 5 hurrican is ehading straight for them!

I asusme you will do sensible stuff like check the weather forecast before setting out, looks a rough road on the web andnotmuch shelter if the bike craps out.

Not long and you are half way through. Do you have a general plan yet?

Hi there thanks for th e post, great videos and some lovely views too.

I see you're wearing the bike jacket a lot Tasha!

I loved the photo of the kids in Shimla.

Take care

love Mum
