With my passport packed full of Visas, and my last work day at work on 2nd of June out of the way... I have left for my travels abroad - over three months overlanding across Russia and Asia! My aim is to go as low carbon as possible - overlanding as much as possible - just one flight home, and one flight across where borders are closed. Look forward to meeting up with Ushma, Tom S, Tom B, Stu, my folks & bro, Cathy and Dave all along the way! LOOK OUT FOR MY (SHORT) DAILY UPDATES!

Behind the Great Firewall of China
This update has been published using a drone, since the censorship in China doesn't allow many western websites to be accessed. So far, Susheel has made it into Beijing, met up with Stu, and the two have been to Datong (which has a hanging temple) and Xi'an (the former capital, with the Terracotta Army). There will be not be any further updates until after he emerges from China. There is uncertainty over when this will be, since the plans for Tibet may not be going ahead. Watch this space!
