RTW Trip start UK to south Africa
 

Due to a long drawn out divorce my plans have gone t*ts up was hoping to have left in feb this year but now looking to be July if im lucky. I was hoping to get to south africa for the world cup but don't think i can be that quick to getting that sorted now. looking for advice and anyone that wants to come i am free and easy and not tied down to any time restrictions. Wanting to travel from uk to south africa to start with then work out the rest of the route. I am hoping to be off in July so any help would be great as havent even sorted out the best route as yet so i wil be glade of any help and to know if anyone would like to join me for some of it.

Flucky, I am planning to take it slow down to SA leaving in mid-June. Aim to be in SA around November time. Let me know how you are getting on.

well divorce is still dragging on but there is light at the end of the tunnel think it should be done and dusted in 2 weeks then i can order my bike (BMW R1200 GS) which will be 6 weeks to turn up. soon as it does il run it in over here to make sure all is well as doing Lands End to John O Groate's to run it in then il be heading of. Im hoping that it will be early july to mid july all being well with the divorce and bike turning up on time lol. What route will you be taking and would you like some company on some of it if your going that slow il play catch up.

Hi Flucky,
I'm currently on a RTW, back in the UK beginning of July. I was planning on doing a quick loop around the UK, but may be very interested in joining you for the lands end to john o'groats trip, and perhaps down into Morocco. I'll be riding a KTM 640 Adventure.
Drop me an email if you want to talk more, and I can give you my blog details. You might read a bit and not want to ride with me!

All the best,

Rick

flucky:

If you're starting later (for whatever reason ;)) you can also join us. We'll be doing the Eastern route through (Turkey -> Jordan -> Ethiopia ->). 2 dutchies and a biker from the UK. Starting date : 10-10-10....

well at this rate i could be leaving later as divorce is still dragging on even tho im doing the leg work to speed thing up i cant seem to win lol once i have things sorted this end i will be posting on here what i am up to and on a blog that will be put on line once divorce is done but please keep in touch to let me know how you het on

Well divorce is now done at last only took 2.5 years to sort out (never get married as costs to much) so finances will be sorted soon.

i have ordered my bike BMW R 1200 GS Adnenture nice yellow one, i have been told its a big bike but went out for a few hrs on it for 2nd test ride and it feels just right dosnt feel to big at all

so now i can do the planning part of the trip so any help would be great thenk you

When are you planning to leave?
 

We're heading down to cape town too, currently touring europe, but have the ferry booked to Tunis on the 28th Aug, we're in no hurry so maybe we'll ride a little/lot together!

Ride Safe
