The Long Riders' Guild

Long Rider Ian Robinson is planning his third journey - in Afghanistan!

New Zealand Long Rider Ian Robinson, who has made solo journeys across Mongolia and Tibet and written two excellent books, is now planning to ride across Afghanistan!

Visitors may recall that Louis Meunier and Hadji Shamsuddin made a similar ride in 2005, and Louis almost died.  But Ian, while not blind to the dangers, is finding out what his best and safest route would be.

I am in regular contact with Louis in Kabul, who is giving me plenty of information from which I am trying to weigh up the risks, Ian wrote to The Guild.

We wish Ian the best of luck in his preparations, and hope he has a safe trip across that turbulent country.
