I got an Indian 6 month tripple entry visa pretty handy this morning, well I dont have it in my pocket yet as it takes 6 to 8 working days to process, so obviously I will have to run on and return for it on a bus.
Tripple entry gives me great freedom as I can run Nepal. Bangladesh is also tempting!
I am affraid there may be some closed areas in Myanmar and border crossings closed between Myanmar and Bangladesh and from there to India, so there may be some running to borders back tracking to take a flight and returning to continue on the other side, not much I can do, that will be the end of the unbroken road due to this so called ‘ no mans land.’
Anyway got to check more stuff, thanks again to Greg for some great help.

Good Man Tony, We all have to resort to a plan B when the need arises. I admire your forward thinking and planning. So it’s going to be south of the Himalyas rather than north – we all wish you the very best and safe running.

Tony—-well–China–what the hell—it would have been really cold anyway—Myanmar will be good—and as you say–if there are some closed areas you will find that out when they pull you off the road–but it is opening up quickly.
OK—back soon with more info——Hey, maybe you can sell all the cold weather gear to some people in the N. of India–might fetch some good rupees!!!
good running-Greg
