I am looking for a partner to try and run the Pamir trail in Tajikistan. The aim is to fastpack the trail, running where possible and walking when not carrying all the necessary equipment to be self supported between resupplies in the villages. I may try to raise money for mind and do a self filmed video in a small way. Aiming to go in July and August but could delay a few weeks for the right kind of keen bean.
I would like to go with someone who has a good sense of humour and relaxed attitude. They need to be up for trying something that might turn out to be impossible or stupid and have prior UK running experience of self supported rounds or races. Ideally they will also have prior experience of adventures that cause you to have to try really hard for a prolonged period - this could be in any sport. It's the experience of being knackered and smiling anyway I'm looking for, not specific running expertise. I don't give a hoot about their gender.

I'll attach 2 photos below of me + a photo each of Larry and Lucy - friends who might join for sections. Hopefully they communicate the vibe.
