In the second part of Overland to India we follow Ollie as he explores Kashmir and does a pre-mobile phone needle in a haystack hunt for Becca in Northern India.

We continue to categorise the world by how it takes it's tea, and discuss whether dressing in local clothes is sensible or cultural misappropriation.

After flying the last leg of the journey to Singapore, for some event or other, Ollie and Dave enjoyed Tioman island in Malaysia (one of the few places outside Europe that all three of us have visited) and a likely candidate for another episode.

Finally, some reflections of the journey and future travel plans.

In this episode Malc and David are joined by Ollie to talk about his epic overland journey from the UK to India. This first part focuses on the journey through Europe, Turkey, Syria and down into Lebanon then back up and through Iran before stopping at the Pakistan border.

We talk about the journey itself events that happened on the way and the best modes of transport for this sort of journey. Also tea, lots of tea.

It looks increasingly unlikely any of us will be travelling through Syria or Iran in the near future so we hope you enjoy this look back on a more peaceful time.

Part 2 is coming soon covering the Subcontinent, the final leg to Singapore and travels after Singapore.

In this episode we discuss the pros and cons of travelling solo or with a buddy. Malcolm discovers an unlikely resemblance to a famous film star and David shares some ideas on how to make a success of a holiday when travelling with a smaller group of friends and how this may change for a larger group.
