Hi Drewsome,

Just saw your Visitor Message (from Dec 2011) the other day. Have sent a reply.

I am leaving Australia on 16th May. Will be in Islamabad in early June. Travelling up KKH late June and entering China in early July. Then on to KYR, TAJ, UZB, TKM and Iran.

Might see you on the road somewhere.

Cheers,
Brian

Pakistan Bikers Club teams would be on the KKH this summer and you can join them. All chapters of PBC would be glad to facilitate your trip. When in Lahore give me a call and we might arrange a meeting with the local bikers over a cup of tea.
Last year a group of European members of HU did the same sharing cost while crossing China and might be able to advise you with experience.

Cheers
Omar

Hi Omar,

I will be in Lahore and Islamabad in early June and travelling up KKH to Khunjerab Pass in late June and on to Kashgar in early July.

Maybe will see you and PBC on the road sometime.

Cheers,
Brian

so far we have accumulated 4 or 5 fairly certains, and a potential total of up to 10, although I don't think a group any larger would work well,

dates: entering China 4 5 or 6th September.

Those dates look good for me. I suspect a few may drop out but 10 people would get costs down.

I'm still unsure about Iran so I will have to make decision soon or miss the boat.

Would love to have a beerwith you but it looks like I will just miss you. I am entering China via the Khunjerab Pass on 3rd July and exiting via Irkeshtam Pass into KYR on 9th July.

I see you are from Sofia. I will be heading through Bulgaria in late August/early September. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Keep in touch.

Hi sciii,

Lahore is a big city and hotels of all categories are available. Please let me know your price range and priorities and then I can recommend you suitable hotels. We have chapters accross the country and guide you in other cities too.
Have a nice and safe trip.

Hoping to catch up with the group leaving on the 10th Sep.

I've been looking at the plan and am still sitting on the fence at moment whether to go Bam-Quetta, or sail across the Caspian and meet at Chinese border. Problem is time. Not enough to get there for the 10th Sep.

It looks like I cant make it there until end of September give or take. I'm just testing the water to see if anyone else would be interested sharing guide costs etc for the KKH around this time?

I could probably make the 10th but too much fast riding across too far would spoil the trip I reckon.
