And so we leave Lhasa heading North along the Friendship Highway to Beijing. Only there is a slight snag..... Its bloody cold! After a bush camp in the desert where temperatures plummeted to -26, we realize this isn't going to work. At these temperatures I need to leave the engine idling all night, and even then I find that my diesel and airlines have frozen solid in the morning. With temperatures reaching -17 TIT (Temperature in Truck), frostbitten fingers and some seriously cold passengers, a contingency plan is needed as soon as we reach Lanzou.
