A New Journey Begins

Cameron (aka Cam), a thirty-something Australian yoga instructor I first met in Kathmandu, is probably the most accomplished hiker/trekker I've ever encountered.  He spent a few months on a 2,650-mile solo journey through the Pacific Crest Trail which runs from Mexico to Canada, and when I saw his Lonely Planet guide to the Himalaya, he had his eye on more than a few treks which were highlighted in yellow.

As I previously shared, after we parted in eastern India, he spent time in northern India, Pakistan, Iran and Morocco before returning home.  I just received an update that he is about to embark on a grand new journey, one that has pangs of envy reverberating through me.

He's flying to London to begin a classic overland adventure to the Bearing Sea (east coast of Russia).  While he informed me that a trekking blog was in the works, he's not one to stay tied to a computer on his travels, so I have no blog address to share.  Instead, I offer a few of his photos from Pakistan.  Hopefully he's not a copyright nut!  :)

Please share his blog URL if you get it, would be great to follow his adventures. I am not a trekking person. I enjoy the hike here and there but I am always amazed when people do it and especially solo and in difficult conditions.
