The Longest Stop
Hello everyone!
I am more than happy to present to you the absolute final version of the TLW-video:
This one is going to be my last post for now, and it’s my way of saying THANKS to all of you.
I hope you liked it.
So what’s the plan? Well, the bearded Chris is gone for now, and the old/new Chris has gone back to university, looking to get a degree within the next two years.
Feels good.
BTW, I just checked the overall site statistics:
- more than 400.000 clicks
- 36.000 individual site visitors
- 120 different countries
- over 4.000 comments
THANK YOU!
Christoph
PS: If you run into the desert, please say hi to it for me! ;)

Though I didn't travel as extensively..or ruggedly. This brings up very vivid memories of China. Makes me want to go back.

I am going the easy way.. Train from Beijing to Jiayuguan Pass, then train to Urumqi and train from Urumqi to Shanghai. Would love to walk it, but, I am not as young as you. Will be in Jiayuguan on March 7th., 2010. Still a long time on a train … Your site is fantastic. Love the video, and have passed the link on to numerous friends.
I am taking my NIKON D3, NIKON D2Xs, NIKOn 14-24 , NIKON 50mm F1.4, NIKON 16mm Fisheye, NIKON 70-200 mm , NIKON 135mm F2 and my NIKON 300mm F2.8 on the trip.
All the best from Down Under …………. Peter G.

Just finished reading all of your posts. Magnificent perseverance you proved walking all that way, constantly writing and publishing these posts (like your style), taking awesome photographs (better each thousand kilometers!). Thanks for that, such things show me that lot of things can be done differently – and not necessary the ordinary, easy way. I did really enjoy reading this and I wish you all the luck in everything that you would like to achieve in future. Thanks again.

My wife has bought your book as a gift for christmas 2012. And after reading it and afterwards reading every single blog entry and comment and, finally, watching the full video I almost needed to cry :D. So terrific!!! It is my dream to experience that kind of freedom as well someday. So many emotions in all that THE LONGEST WAY – experience. Thanks for some memorable impressions and thoughts.
