Carnet Rules please help
 

Hi all, my first post, so hi all and can I bounce something off you.

The carnet, now I may want to break my journey. So head off down the east coast of Africa get to South Africa. Leave the bike return to Uk and come back later to ride up West Coast.

I understand i can leave my bike in SA for up to a year on a carnet, but if it has taken me 7 months to ride down, I only have 5 months left.

What do i do? Do I take a new carnet out when I want to go again.

Thank you for any help.

Eli
