For the last 5 weeks I've been in Iran, attempting to follow the river Karun (the longest in the country) from source to sea. Tom and I found all sorts of exciting, wild and madcap adventures in the mountains and plains of Southwest Iran. I'm very excited to share them with you in the coming weeks and months. For now, here are a few very early pictures (the captions along the bottom will help orientate the images as a photo essay if you watch through from start to end.) I'm also very hopeful that we'll be able to create a film of our story, so if you're keen to be updated on that then please pop your email address in the box below and I'll make sure you know when there's something to watch (no spam, I promise!) Finally, I'm also very excited to let you know that after many years of pretending to write a book, I've eventually actually written a book! It tells the story of my very first (and still favourite) journey - cycling across America. The book will be published this summer, and as with the Iran film, there'll be more news to follow soon. Enjoy the pictures! With thanks to:

It's a great way to travel, Blake, although less peaceful and serene when there are huge rapids all around...

These are wonderful snaps Leon, but any particular reason why u chose Karun in Iran? Would not the Ganges in India been a much better option :-))))

Absolutely amazing impressions Leon! Dunno why, but to me the pictures deliver quite a comprehensive account of the roller-coaster this adventure must have been. Curious to see more of it and also looking forward to take a look at some of the footage as well...
