| Glossop to Canberra... and back again
Graham Kelly Trip Start: Jul 16 2002 - Trip End: Jan 10 2004
Graham heads overland to Australia - on the promise of a mate who has a Guinness waiting for him!
Excerpt from the diary: "Back onto the road, and headed towards the Laos/Thai border in the NW of Laos. Along Route 3.
This road is truly spectacular. If you happen to find yourself at a loose end, and have a couple of spare days, pop over here with your motor and "do" this road.
Although these pictures do it some justice, some sections were cut out of the side of a mountain, with a track only just sufficiently wide to take the truck. In the wet-season, this road is classified (as much as anything is "classified" in Laos) as a "4WD route". Even then, the side slopes, cut into the mountainside and sloping downhill, covered with a slippery clay surface would require you to be carrying more than a single spare pair of underpants"
