The year is drawing to an end, so it’s time for a little round up!
Over the next week or two I’m going to flood this feed with some of my favourite pictures from 2025. A bit like a retrospective.
Some of them will be “work” pictures, some will be ones that are available in my print store and some will be family truck life from our travels.
All of them have a story.
In today’s five:
1. This is home. A couple of days before we nearly rolled the truck down a hill, we were enjoying the Assay Plateau near a former Soviet Observatory in Kazakhstan.
Great light, great scenery, friendly locals.
2. Lenin Peak, Kyrgyzstan. One of the best star fields I’ve seen anywhere, and that includes sailing across the Atlantic.
3. Dalmatian Pelican, Lake Kerkini. These enigmatic birds are huge and menacing in look. They were under threat of extinction, but thanks to great conservation efforts, especially around Lake Kerkini, they’re making a strong comeback.
4. The Tien Shan Mountains on the Kumtor Goldmine Route in Kyrgyzstan. A spectacular route, a slightly nervy bridge crossing, glorious scenery and the joy of bumping in to other overlanders.
5. Otis. Posing remarkably motionless in a waterfall in Georgia. Overlanding takes us to these kind out of the way places. Places where few others get to. And we get to explore them from the comfort of our home.
Which is your favourite?
