Sweden-South Africa
 

We are a couple on a GS1150 ADV planning to go from Sweden to South Africa around september or late april next year. Havent decided when to go yet.

I am a 33 year old photographer travelling with my wife who is a journalist. We will make a little bit of a worktrip out of this aswell. We have been doing alot of touring before but only in europe.

We are now looking some other people that might be interested in joining us. Would be fun.

Hi, caught your thread and was interested to hear of your plans. I also have a gs ADV and am at present, a Brit, resident in The Netherlands. Would be great to maybe discuss any ideas you have already and what the possibilities might be. If it helps I am ex forces (17 years) no rambo, but have some appropraite skills and experiences. The idea of travelling north / south sounds great and can alwas meet up on your way down. get back to me soon, Hobbo

Hi Ryberg!!!! - I am a South African 32 yr old traveller married to an English Police Officer. Have an Aprila Caponord Rally Raid 1000cc and have experienced London to South Africa on an Africa Twin but failed!!! - would love to try again!!.
Am interested in your idea and can share a few experiences and prep with the trip !! not as easy as it sounds!!.

which route and when, how long are you planning..?

look forward to your reply

Hi guys.

Welcome aboard. We have no fixed plans right now. Quite openminded. Rough plan so far is to go down the westcoast and try to enter Guinea. Then over to the eastcoast and down to Capetown. Then we are thinking about ship the bike from Mombasa to Calcutta and go back home again through Russia. I think this route could be great fun. What do you think?
I am in SE Asia now but will be home in about a month again. If this turns out to be serious I think we should get together this summer for some camping over a week or so.

Sounds good Niclas.

Always a good idea to meet first before continuing with any real travel plans. Available to meet when ever you get back so please drop me a line. Enjoy Asia.

hi ryberg

i'm a south-african spending a couple of months here in england. had a bike back home and sold it to make my england and europe trip possible. am very intrested in joining you folks next year when my time comes to go back. flying back seems a bit to easy.

Hey mcfisto.

That´s the spirit. No flying! Our plans is going slowly forward. We have decided to go from Sweden sometime in march-april depending on the weather and spend two months or so on the road. Do you have any suggestions on the route? We are so far about five persons that are interested in going. What are you driving?
