Nord Quest 2008
 
Hi!
Wee had very great enduro trip trough the Kola Peninsula in Russia. There was 10 really enduro days. We raid by Russian and German army roads in tundra zone, crossing much many rivers on the old road from Lovozero to Oktjabrskij, wee climb by bikes on the tops of mountains, raid in desert and along seaside.

Here you can see photos Adventurer - Photos

Superb photos, what a brilliant trip - got to say your a hard bunch some of those tracks looked hellish and rivers just terrifying - boats would have been more useful. Really dont know how you got your bike through some of that terrain. But just wonderful to see anyway.

Antipical and tipical. One of the better bridge on the road from Revda to Oktjabrskij and bridge in "normal" condition.
