I have a link somewhere to russians in a truck in the winter but too cold Would be impossible without solid road as tundra / taigia would be a swamp with big mozzies biggerthan OZzie!!! Problemwith roads if built, who will maintain them over such a great distance I will search more russian sites this week I remember someone was walking from Alaska and got arrested when landing as ordinary Visa does not work in the area as it is restricted, Ambramovich of Chelsea soccer club was the governor then and got a permit real quick are you a chelsea fan?!! |

couple more links The Wunderlust Logs Magadan to Istanbul Landing In vlad it can take you three hours or two weeks depending on luck to sort out the paperwork Road from Vlad to Moscow easy, they drive japanese import cars there all the time, know people who did it. Should be fun!! even the traffic police when they want "lunch money"!!! |
Just my 2 cents but I went to Nordkapp in Feb'07 and it was only minus 42*c and that was cold enough to start getting gearbox problems until the oil had warmed also the oil in the diff was playing up a little. The wipers stopped working as the motor couldn't turn so that was fun.
If you are sure you want to do this and I respect you for doing it as I'd love to do it but getting stuck in Norway at minus 42*c was pretty scary especially as I was on my own, I'd make sure you are equipped to spend a night in the cold without heat. As your car may break down or get stuck and you'll have to find a way to survive until someone is available to assist. Good luck and make sure you take PLENTY of photos, I love the arctic! |
Motosiberia one of the group managed to get to chukotka which is 600km north east of Magadan.
you can read about it here 3 x KTM GO EAST - Page 32 - ADVrider I'm pondering if I should go to Magadan as I'll have to do the road of bones TWICE which will add 3400km to my trip. |
Hah! I just found a Kamaz 6x6 lorry for £13000 for sale in Warsaw, now THAT might make one helluva overlander and get you all the way across siberia easy.

2 of the guys made it to Magadan by road of bones and then had to fly back, and Mac made it solo to Omsukchan ... The end of the road. Mac is trying again this year to get further ... Motosyberia 2.0 ... flying lightweight dirt bikes into Magadan before heading out for Kamchatka overland or Chukhotka. Omsukchan is for all intents and purposes, as far East -155.80 degrees East - that anyone has ridden to (that obviously excludes bikes shipped or flown into Kamchatka) |
Now there's an old post I haven't quite updated in a while :oops2:
So, two years later, what's the status ? Magadan is the end of the road still ? I still have no bloody idea how to reach Uelen but I still want to try. I am aware of the cold tho, maybe I'm wreckless... Anyhow, if anyone has found a way to go further east and willing to share the tips... ta for that ! |

See my other post in response to a similar question on another thread for more detail. |
I see, a barge ? for bikes only or cars too ? I'll be driving a Landcruiser...
I'm stubborn I know :) Just the thought of "there's a way" makes me want to try...:rolleyes2: |
