its about 12000km, asphalt all the way.

So it'll take as long as you want it to take. If you want to do 1000km a day or you want to do 100 km a day ... its your call.

LandCruiser wont be an issue but to be honest, a bog stock Ford Ka or Fiat Seicento would suffice and use 60 - 70% less fuel.

You could leave in mid April ... depending how fast you want to go. It can be anything from 2 weeks to 3 months depending how slow you want to go.

Coxy

Something tells me you are a relative of Justin Staal - I think when i was discussing my last escapade to him he mentioned your trips and directed me to your site... If I've got that wrong - ignore my ramblings !!

But I've done a bit of research about London to East Coast of Russia, and how to get back...

Ping me a pm if you feel like it with a phone number and we can have a chat at some point...

Simon

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
