Fergana Valley, a fertile region in eastern Uzbekistan, is famed for its significance along the fabled Silk Road trade routes and centuries-old artistry in silk weaving and ceramics. Visiting the bazaars and the artisans’ workshops in places like Margilan, Rishton and Andijon, you can still sense the ancient spirit of exchange and get a glimpse into the living-traditions that define Uzbek identity today.

When I was first invited to cycle Finland’s Puumala Archipelago Ring Road, I eagerly accepted. Despite being a little rusty, I convinced myself that 60 kilometres on an e-bike would be a breeze. And it was - until 55 kilometres in. Despite rigorously conserving the battery for the final hills, the bike began to slow and jolt. Then, the horror: my battery suddenly died completely.
