Hamming it up

A strange guy I found hanging around in the forest

Some people will do anything for attention and my brother Tim is no exception. We were half way into our gruelling 11-hour 'ride from hell' marathon on the back of moto's as we travelled across country from Stung Treng to Preah Vihear province a few weeks ago. It was a tough day. Our moto drivers had stopped to fix yet another puncture so Tim and I walked ahead and found a vine, in the shape of a noose, hanging right across the track, hence Tim's impression in the picture above. Looks pretty scary doesn't it - actually, Tim looks scary most of the time! I hope this doesn't upset any young children, it was just for fun and Tim suffered no ill-effects after his stunt...but whatever you do, don't try this at home folks.
