| Jose Piggin, they don't come more passionate than this one |

With our team assembled, we headed off in 3 Toyota Hiace vans and after 3 attempts to get out of the city we finally got sorted and picked up some supplies from a local market. Our journey on the Pamirs highway was under way.
Seed collectors are a passionate lot and it wasn't long before the urge to start collecting had us pulling up on the side of the road to see what we could find.
For the most part we collected clovers, lucerne and some wheat. It quickly became apparent though, the use of common names wasn't going to cut it with this lot who use botanical names when talking about anything. It was a steep learning curve for this farmer from Barooga.
As the day progressed we started to climb into the mountains and made camp at a beautiful little lake. The first day in and already the scenery was beautiful.
