Turkey-Stans-Mong-Russia-Canada

Turkey-Stans-Mong-Russia-Canada

So here's the plan :
Having travelled through West Africa and extensively around Europe in various vehicles from 2 wheels up to 6, I have now decided to explore a little of what Mongolia has to offer.
I have kitted a 4x4 truck out for the trip and am just about ready to leave (mid April) UK.
Approximate timescales would have me in Mongolia by beginning of July and intend to be at Magadan looking for a ship by end of Sept.
That's about as thorough as my planning gets.
I'm guessing to get Russian visa sorted via an agent before leaving and other visas will be obtained at Istanbul.
Once in Canada i'd probably 'park up' for a month or so to recharge energy and eran some cash.
Anybody out there interested in joining me ?
Looking for other vehicles ( 2, 4 or 6 wheels ) to maybe meet on route, travel whole route or just part of ????????

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.
