Wow, that one is pretty big! We were pretty lucky that Rani is small. She only weighs 28kg so a small Malamute. Im not sure if she is a cross or just wasn't brought up to her maximum potential when developing. Anyway, she is in good hands for now while we foster her. Hopefully her new family will take great care of her.
Thanks Wainiha

Some of you may remember back in September when we were in the Magadan region of Siberia we visited an old Gulag camp and a completely abandoned city. I have been working on photos of both recently. We are just trying to find out the history of both Kadykchan (abandoned in the late 90's) and the Dneprovski Gulag camp (abandoned as late as 1955!) but the Russian translations are not going too well. If anyone is out on the Road of Bones this year, these two spots are well worth the detour.
More photos to follow.

That is a very sad history USSR has in its books...

As promised, the Dneprovski Gulag which disbanded in 1955 after Stalin's death. A former tin mine this is located about 25km off the road of bones about 200km north of Magadan.

Thanks Merv,
There are a few gaps where we think we have corrupted files
but we are working to resolve those. Now the bulk on my visa application is done I can get back to sorting out our blog, photos and video.G

More great news from Sirocco Overland.
While I have been working solidly for 6 months to build up our funds I have happened across the chance to take someone else's Land Rover Defender across the Simpson Desert in support of four motorbikes We leave on the 15th July and I fly back from Alice Springs on the 26th. I cannot wait to get back out there! Looking forward to sharing a trip report and photos with you all on my return. Keep an eye on facebook for updates as we go to
