Had we gone to Tibet as planned on 7 March it would have been disastrous. We’d have arrived in Kashgar in Xinjiang Province around the 10th, spent a few days sorting gear and supplies before leaving for the western border of Tibet around the 14th for a 5 day 4WD trip.

Bad news! With less than 2 weeks before we fly to China, we received notice from our agent in Xinijang Province that the Government had rescinded our permits. Essentially because China has been experiencing it's worst winter in decades, the army has blocked our permit because the Chinese government has made an order to stop events in remote areas.

With less than 3 weeks before we fly to China it has typically reached 'manic' stage with gear strewn everywhere, emails and Skype calls flying back and fore between Australia, New Zealand, UK and China, lists made and remade and not enough training done amongst it all. We actually fly to Beijing on March 7th then follow that with a flight across China to Kashgar via Urumqi.
