4.5 year 4x4 trip around Eurasia
(First posted in the HU Bar, sorry for the repeat!)
I'm just taking a break in the UK after 4.5 years away on the road in my 4x4.
The trip covered all countries of the USSR (excluding Armenia & Nagorno Karabagh, but including Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Transdneister), Mongolia, three visits each to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, plus Bangladesh and Nepal.
I'm writing a blog retrospectively, it's a work in progress, but I have the first eight months written up.
The blog is aimed more at describing the places I visit and the people I meet, rather than what I and the car did, and all the usual shenanigans.

A 'best of' photo gallery from the entire trip so far:

Thanks

Good point - I have a 'car' page, but I'm making a couple of modifications to it at present. It'll be up again in the next few days.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
