Anzob tunnel, Tajikstan
Tags: anzob tunnel
Anzob Tunnel through the Hissar ridge in the Fan Mountains,Tajikistan. Known as the tunnel of death. Over 5km long and has been a disaster since 'opened' in 2009. "The tunnel floor is covered in flowing water, so you can't see the huge deep potholes. Out of these potholes stick metre long curled reo bars. There is water gushing from the water table and its un-lit. My mudguard directed water directly into my sparkplug and I needed to stop 3 times to clear it. The diesel fumes /CO2 made it hard to breathe. But at least we survived." Some excitement for Day 9. Maybe the longest 5ks of our ride.
