China/Karakoram Highway late Sept. 2014

[ajspeed]

Hi,

This is our first, and hopefully not the last post on Horizons Unlimited.

My wife Anne and I (Anthony), are in the process of planning a motorcycle trip this year (2014) from Europe to Australia that will go via China and the Karakoram Highway into Pakistan. Like others planning similar trips we would like to share the costs of the Chinese sector if possible. We expect to leave UK/France in mid June this year and travel via Iran, which we plan to enter towards the end of July. Up to a month in Iran and and then travel along part of the silk route. Based on these timings, our initial plans would have us reach the Chinese border with Kyrgyzstan late September or early October. We would be interested in hearing from anyone who has plans whose timing is similar to ours. We would consider travelling via Tibet to Nepal if your plans took you in that direction.

Regards

Anne & Anthony

Joe and Heather,

Good to hear from you, yes interested in talking further on sharing costs and the possible timing thru China. From what I have seen later in September is still OK even as late as early November, weather permitting.

Anne & Anthony
