More from the 'Kiri expedition

I look a mite concerned as I had just managed to stay on the bike at the bottom of a steep drop
James MacGregor, now safely back in his snow-bound London office, sent me some snaps from the Tour de Mereuch WWF Mondulkiri Bike Tour, in which we both took part last week. Thanks James. I am slowly recovering my strength and should be back up to speed in time for my next trek, which is into the remote eastern hinterland of Kompong Thom province, aiming for the gold-rich mountain of Phnom Chi, on the trail of some long-lost ancient temples. There's far too much adventure to be had in this country! Back to the photos from James - there's another one of me in deep concentration as I negotiate a small wooden bridge; there's a back view as we are just about to get a faceful of red Mondulkiri dust from the passing 4WD; and a fuzzy farewell meal which we held at the Bananas restaurant in Sen Monorom. Incidentally, the food at Bananas was exceptional, especially after three days of forest-camp rations. More photos from Mondulkiri to follow.
