We are about to leave Skardu for the “end of the road” at Askole. There we will hire somewhere over 150 or more Balti porters to carry our gear to K2 Base Camp – and this is just part of the overall load – one way!

ROCK ON Alan. Loved hearing your voice and chuckles! Did not notice back seat belts or any place for the middle person to hold on ………. Can’t wait to hear or see the “trail” along the way in another little video.
Great stuff Alan. I feel as if I was there, almost! Wish I was. Have a bumpy but enjoyable ride! Jacqueline
