Their most extreme experiences and their most valuable advice. In doing so they are sharing some of their best anecdotes. The dos and don'ts, the highs and lows.

An eccentric chap from Moscow strides comically around the shop and tests out his new hiking boots. There is an air of excitement, an anxious anticipation. We watch a group of climbers trying on hiking boots and choosing their ice axes and ski poles.

вЂњMaybe we should drive our Volvo up to the topвЂќ, I smile, but the guide frowns and quickly dismisses the idea. The vehicle had become stuck on the way down and still remains on the mountain to this day. A local guide hears about our road trip expedition and tells us the story about the adventurer, Alexander Abramov, who drove a Land Rover to the top of Elbrus in 1997. Two women from Norway inspect their poles, while a young Russian couple argue whether a blue or orange ski jacket looks better on the mountain.

Simon hands over our passports and car documents to an official. We creep forward and pull up alongside a control booth. Waiting patiently in a long queue of cars, we buy corn on the cob from a kid standing in front of a military bunker. The Guardian newspaper quoted a witness to the fighting, who recalled hearing one of the young attackers yelling to a comrade-in-arms, вЂњHow do you reload a grenade launcher?вЂќ Taking the time to visit the вЂForever with RussiaвЂ™ monument in the main square, which is dedicated to Ivan the TerribleвЂ™s wife, Maria, a native Kabardian, we push south and arrive at the state border checkpoint for North Ossetia-Alania. The operation was a complete disaster.

Ossetians are a proud people, who recognise themselves as descendants of the Alanic group of Sarmatian tribes. What am I expecting to see вЂ“ a group of Islamic militants wearing balaclavas and clutching Kalashnikovs? No, of course not, instead itвЂ™s a young family squeezed into a red Lada to my left and an overweight businessman in his fifties driving a smart Toyota saloon to my right. Chris pulls up to a set of traffic lights and I sneak a peek at my fellow road users.

The Kabarday (who we had met around Elbrus), introduced Islam to the region in the 17th century and the Digor branch of the Ossetians in the west gradually adopted the Islamic religion and practises. During the 13th century, Ossetia fell under the control of the Mongol Empire and the Alani were forced to flee into the mountains. The Ossetians mostly live in the regions of North Ossetia-Alania in Russia and the neighbouring Georgian break-away state of South Ossetia the latter of which has been de facto independent from Georgia since the 2008 South Ossetia War.Byzantine missionaries first brought Christianity to the Alans in the 10th century, and a large percentage became Eastern Orthodox Christians in the 12th-13th centuries under the influence of Georgia.
