It was a great trip - hard work though, really tough but that made arriving in Magadan that much sweeter!
We did the old route, the one done in Long way Round through Tomtor etc but once we completed that section we headed straight to Magadan as we were running out of time. So we didnt do the Tenkinskaya part of the road of bones which i believe they are going to do next year, time permitting.
The truth is, whilst i went on this trip to do the Road of Bones as that is what has been made popular with Long way round etc, the action and adventure is absolutely on the BAM road. I had no idea about the BAM, but that took us 10-12 days to complete and was hard work. Having done that and then arriving to do the Road of Bones, the Road of Bones took us 1.5 days and was a piece of piss (in comparison).
Of course, if all I was doing was the Road of Bones it would have been tough as well but the BAM is honesty where the action is!
