Something I wasn’t sure about when preparing for this trip is fuel availability in the Pamirs. There’s certainly no petrol stations around, and if anything, fuel is sold from local homes. As I’m taking a stroll around town, I encounter a group of motorcyclists from Poland who also need to fill up. They’ve been in this area a few times before and they speak Russian. One of the guys introduces himself as Sambor – and suddenly that rings a bell. Whilst researching fuel availability through one of the web forums back in England, I had been in touch with Sambor. And now we actually meet in person & he shows me where to get fuel… what a small world! As expected, the fuel comes straight from the bucket and by the sound of the bike engine it probably WAS 80 octane fuel – before someone diluted it with water & a good dose of yak-piss.
