Out of The Clouds - Atigun Pass

We spent an hour riding into and out of the thick cloud base that blanketed Alaska's Atigun Pass. This image is one of my favourites.

The Mountain Wall - Tajikistan

We'd made an early start but two hours after setting off we were already struggling with the altitudes thin air and freezing temperatures. This was a landscape that made us both feel utterly insignificant and yet was also utterly inspiring. This shot taken by Lisa conveys the overwhelming scale of the silk route and the Tajik geography.

Volcano Riding - Indonesia

When the lights is this good who doesn't want to go ride inside a live volcano...right?

Kyrgyzstan Sunset - Kyrgyzstan

Somehow pastel sunset are just more dramatic along the Silk Route, than anywhere else on the planet. This was the perfect reward after a long, tough day's ride.

Altai Sunset - Mongolia

Even with a freezing storm coming in from the north, we had to stop and grab this image as our route ahead is lit in orange with the setting sun.

The Gobi - Mongolia

Surviving the Gobi in Southern Mongolia was a privilege

Laguna Sunset - Bolivia

An incredible sunset at the end of a very long,hard day in the Bolivian Altiplano. The air gets thin above 16,000ft but the light is worth it.

Milky Way Trio - USA

The City Of Rock in New Mexico is one of the most dramatic night time spots we've camped out. Outstanding!

Into The Light

In Tajikistan on the Silk Route, Lisa rode this piece of road, several times before I was able to get the camera settings anywhere close to capturing the drama and intense and formidable light of this shot. She wasn't happy! This was at altitude and running low on fuel. But totally worth it I think!

Blazing Plains - Mongolia

the hazy colours of this shot really capture the diffused light and dust that we rode through most days as we navigated Mongolia. We'll head back and ride it again one day! If you haven't visited this incredible country, put it on your bucket list,

The Sleeping Giant - Indonesia

The smokey dark scene created by this rumbling volcano was just too good a backdrop to pass up. With Lisa sitting in the foreground you get a sense of scale. The photo doesn't do justice to the incredible heat, humidity and smell of sulphur in the air :-)

The Three Amigos - USA

We'd camped under the stars in the City Of Rocks National Park, where the Milky Way made for a perfect backdrop to photograph the three bikes that had taken us across the USA and back.

Storms Ahead - Alaska

This was shot just south of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, as we rode back to Coldfoot trying to dodge these immense storms clouds on the way.

Tungurahua Volcano - Ecuador

We posed for this image on the outskirts of the Ecuadorian town of Baños de Agua Santa, as the Tungurahua volcano erupts.

The Pamirs - Kyrgyzstan

South of the village of Sarry Tash, we start our long cold ride across one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the world.

Storm Over The Altai - Mongolia

We raced over the Altai Mountains in North West Mongolia to keep ahead of the snow storm that had been chasing us all day. But, this light and landscape was just too good not to stop. Surreal!

The Haul Road - Alaska - USA

this shot was snatched as we headed south from Prudhoe Bay, desperately trying to avoid the snow that was falling around us. By some miracle, we missed the lot and arrived back at Coldfoot in one piece.
