Routes to Magadan
First time in this Regional Forum, and I'm having a very early look at routes to Magadan (from UK), and wondering what opinions/options are? I'll hold my hands up and say I've done very little research so far!
I'm thinking of leaving maybe April/May so's I'm in the south (if I go south of the Black Sea) before the heat gets too bad, and head towards Magadan mid-summer.
I'll be on an 1190 R, mate on a 1200 GS. We're both experienced off-road riders, but neither are we masochists!!
A few posts suggest missing Mongolia (I'm guessing due to the combination of size and infrastructure?) but others in the past have described it as a highlight.
We don't want to be in a mad rush. but neither do we have limitless time. So mid-paced. I'm thinking two months to Magadan, and perhaps a month accross North America to the east coast.
Are there any tricky visa's etc? I know when I travelled Africa N>S in 2010 it was a very complicated jigsaw puzzle! Is northern Iran possible currently?
Thanks in advance!
