Average trip cost. UK - Magadan via Turkey, Mongolia..
 

I was wondering if I could afford this on what I can muster together for an April/May 2014 leave date. I could scrape £7000 together. I want to take 6 months. I have bike and equipment. The £7000 would be for visas, fuel, food accommodation and shipping...

Is it doable without having to reuse tea bags and sleep in silage ditches ???

I don't want to rack up credit card debt... :/

Cheers all

Fuel is cheap in Russia and Mongolia, if you plan on camping then you will be ok. Hotels can be cheapish in Russia but some of the ones I stayed in were more dirty than sleeping in my bike gear :scooter: unless you pay a lot.
How are you going to get back from Magadan? that will be the most expensive part of the trip.

You should just manage. I tend to budget about 65 quid a day all up including transport. You will manage on less.

Yeah.... Its the shipping at the end that is the worry. Maybe I'll go to vllad instead ...

Merhaba,
My UK.friends Chris Bright and Adam Lewis have just done it and probably they are trying to freight the bikes to europe from Vladivostok currently.
I feel they ve done it the cheapest way!!!
I think you know them.
All the best..

Let's have a chat at Danny's do at Haggs Bank in September. You're going aren't you? Much easier than composing words of wisdom on my phone here in rainy Ulaan Baatar.
Later

Cheers Chris.. Yes, I'll be there. You're just the man I need to talk to about this...
