TROPIC OF CANCER WITH SIMON REEVE - Programme Five: Bangladesh, N.E. India and Burma.
Author and TV presenter Simon Reeve continues his epic 6-part journey around the Tropic of Cancer, the northern border of the tropics region. On this fifth leg of the journey he travels from western Bangladesh across the Indian states of Tripura and Mizoram, and on into Burma.
The photograph shows Simon wading across a river in western Burma with local guides. Simon, director Andrew Carter and cameraman Jonathan Young, had crossed into Chin State in western Burma from a remote area of the Indian state of Mizoram. Their crossing was illegal and extremely risky, as the BBC is banned from Burma, a military dictatorship and one of the most repressive countries in the world.
The team travelled on foot to a Chin village, home to people from the 1.5m-strong Chin ethnic group, who live on the Tropic of Cancer. They discovered that Burmese troops are committing appalling human rights abuses against the Chin population of Burma, including execution, torture, rape and forced labour. There are more than 50 Burmese army bases in Chin State, and the Chin people are effectively living under a military occupation on their own land.
Simon and his team are among just a handful of foreigners to visit this area of Chin State in recent decades. When they heard that a Burmese army patrol had arrived in the next village they had to flee back to the Indian-Burma border, walking through the night to reach safety.
This Tropic of Cancer series is Simon's third trip exploring the Tropics - the region of the planet with both the richest natural biodiversity, and the greatest concentration of human suffering. During 2006 and 2008 he travelled around the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn for the acclaimed BBC series of the same name.

Looking over the border into Algeria. The southern and western edge of the large dune field in centre ground is on the Algerian side of the border. We crossed the border leaving Libya and entered Algeria and rounded the southern tip of this dune field (the right hand end of these dunes) and then drove eastwards across the Takharkhouri (Sebkha) heading back towards the Libyan border and on towards the Takharkhouri Pass - the southern gateway into the Tadrart Acacus.

Chris' little sister, Lilith, graciously agreed to accompany me to the release party so I could pretend the book was for *her.*
I attended the Midnight release party for "Breaking Dawn" by Stephanie Meyer at the Borders in Augusta, GA. They presold 250ish copies.

You know which country you are by looking at the lights. Important issue, because Russians are still more than heavyhanded in border violations. That is why Norwegian army is watching even kayakers making 5 meter errors, for their own good.

Even the Ensete here is an annual. The hot growing season here is at most 4 months long, not long enough for the plant to mature and flower. But it looks great as a focus plant in a border!

Early morning at SeaTac, now there is one less thing to do. It was one of the best airport bookstores.

Longtown is a small town in northern Cumbria, England, with a population of around 3,000. It is in the parish of Arthuret and on the River Esk, just south of the Anglo-Scottish border. Nearby was the Battle of Arfderydd.
Historically in Cumberland, Longtown is the location of the largest sheep markets in England, and is close to the site where the Battle of Solway Moss was fought in 1542. Longtown has one primary school with around 190 pupils. Most secondary school pupils travel to William Howard School, Brampton, though up until 2008 Longtown had its own secondary school, Lochinvar School.
The first animal to be found to be infected with foot-and-mouth disease in the 2001 crisis had been purchased at Longtown Market. While at the market it spread the infection to other animals. The size of the Longtown Sheep Market meant that the disease had spread right across the country in a very short time. Longtown became the centre for control of the disease in south western Scotland and North West England.
Peel Tower
A little over two miles to the north, on the west bank of the River Esk, Kirkandrews Tower is an isolated and well-preserved 16th century peel tower.
Coal mining
Lochinvar coalfield was discovered in the 1950s by the National Coal Board and was subject to drilling but never mined. Recently an Australian firm (New Age Exploration) has been exploring the coalfield for coking coal to produce steel. The company is exploring as far north as Evertown near Canonbie, and as far south as Longtown.[3]
DMC Longtown
During the 1930s, there was a recognition of a need to provide secure storage for munitions across the United Kingdom. The proposal was to create three Central Ammunition Depots (CAD): one in the south (Monkton Farleigh, Wiltshire); one in the Midlands (Nesscliffe, Shropshire); and one in the north.
While the other two sites were sat above easily hewn limestone, Longtown is located above granite, which meant that it took longer to create and only came into operations late in the Second World War. The site was chosen as it used to be part of HM Factory, Gretna, that stretched to Eastriggs over the border into Scotland, one of the biggest makers of explosives during the First World War. The township of Gretna was established to house the workers of this establishment.
Today, DMC (Defence Munitions Centre) Longtown is the only one of the three CADs to remain in operation and is among the largest defence munitions sites in Western Europe. Currently, Longtown and Eastriggs are two separate sites under joint management. In November 2013 the MoD announced that the operational capacity of MoD Longtown would be reduced and a substantial area of the site would be given over to commercial use.

Noted at Dublin Airport was this Border Control Post sign,Has Dublin Airport made a UDI ( Unilateral Declaration of Independence), will the airport raise a new flag, have a new Anthem and muster an army ?
First time in Manitoba - I've lived by it my entire life, but never crossed the border. That makes me 10/10 when it comes to Canadian provinces.
We went across in Northern Idaho, in both directions and up a considerable grade, a swath of trees had been removed to denote the border.
