March '09 UK via Mid East to Cape Town
 Anyone (or two) interested in travelling with a hombre down the classic East Africa route?Looking at riding from the UK down to Bari, Italy, catching a ferry to Greece, then riding through Turkey, Syria, Jordan and jump on the ferry to Nuweiba in Egypt and burning on through the Sinai to Giza. From the Pyramids, begins the classic route down to Cape Town. My bike's an XT600E ('Beth'), already completely prepped. Beth is waiting for me to get my ass into gear, to squirrel the finances together. I haven't done any serious off-roading before, so am booked onto the BMW off-road skills course in Wales at end of June to skill up, practising on a G650Xchallenge. July 4-7 I'll be at the HU rally in Ripley, Derbyshire, so we could meet up there to suss each other out??? PM me or email discoenduro(at)googlemail(dot)com Mike 'Disco' Starr

travel mates wanted
Hi Mike
Just read your mail. We're talking of planning a trip at the more or less the same time as you. About us: We're 3 South African girls, all vets. Fun loving easy going and very chilled. We're planning to do it in a Land Rover discovery. Our route is starting in Tunisia, then going east to Egypt then down east coast. Getting super excited with all the planning, wow, it is a lot!!! If you would be keen to find out more and don't mind travelling with 3 girls for a bit, let me know Cheers Jenny

Adventure to Cape Town
Now, Pumbaa, too. Fantastic.
It'd be awesome to meet up with all of you on this journey. Let's make one thing clear, the limited storage space on motorbike's is legendary, so...you'll have to carry the ice cold  !Where are you all located, the UK?

We are on our way to the UK from Oz. Should be there around Feb 09. We are hoping to leave 3/4 months later, depending on initial paperwork and visa hassles with Lybia. We will be based in London while we are in the UK. Still interested in travelling with others. Cheers

london cape town
Don't worry too much about the bmw offroad school . Just completed the a trip from london to cape town , there are roads better than some you will find in the uk and plenty of fuel all the way down . no unleaded , still the old red petrol which was perfect for my 1986 yamaha tt600 . This was the first time i went offroad myself . went via france tunisia , libya , egypt , sudan , ethiopia , kenya , tanzania , mozambique , sa . when you catch the ferry from egypt into sudan don,t bother booking a cabin unless you can get the whole cabin for youself . the doors don;t lock and the locals just come in and make themselves at home . best spot 2nd class ticket right on top of the ferry roof . here is ruby/mikes web site , i met the at the ferry port in egypt and travels thru sudan with them , they have loads of upto date info
Welcome to Ruby's and Mike's Website cheers werner
