I found somewhere information from two various sources that GPS co-ordinates for embassy in Almaty: N 43 12.127 E 76 54.818
I try to check them against some GPS software
Address is
Tajik Consulate General in Almaty, Kazakhstan

Hi Sami
Thanks for your quick reply and also your pm. Let's discuss possible commonality in plans via pm.
I looked on Walter's waypoint list on Mapsource and the Tajikistan embassy in Almaty isn't on the list, or I can't find it. Can you pm me the contact details for your English friend on the xt600 in Almaty from 2012. I have lost the business card he gave me. If you have a telephone number for the embassy he might be able to call them to confirm their address?
Many thanks for all your hard work on my behalf. I owe you a  !

Many thanks for Keith's details. I'll let you know if Almaty/ Pamirs ends up as the plan. Parking in Kyrgyzstan is straight forward and the only extra expense is a flight back to England.
The heavens have just opened here. Glad I'm in a hotel. Wild camping on the BAM in a rain storm wouldn't be much fun. Hope the Mundus 2 plus 2 have a roof over their heads tonight!

Update as per 4pm Thursday 25 July
Arrived with bike on train back at Severobaykalsk. The plan is to ride zhiglovo tomorrow/ Fri and be back in Irkutsk Saturday evening. Anyone there for sherberts?
On Sunday things will be closed, so Monday I'll see if I can get a replacement radiator. The bike mechanic round the corner from vlad's bike shop had lots of Japanese stuff kicking around so maybe something will fit.
I have a few ideas for the month of August but most likely is a Pamir revisit as heavy shed can get me to some of the interesting places.
Needless to say, I left my Kazakhstan and central Asia maps in at the Oasis in UB. Any idea of any shops in Irkutsk or Almaty where I can buy such things or if we meet en route I could buy yours?
I'm sitting on the balcony of the Severobaykalsk Resort hotel eating a well earned bar of chocolate while it's still raining. Should be fun in the mud tomorrow on the zhiglovo road :-) ...
