London to Cape Town Two Months per Year
I am trying to put together a loose plan to travel from London to Cape Town with my KTM 690 starting next fall. My intention is to put the bike on the ro-ro in Halifax, Nova Scotia and pick it up in Southampton, UK for the ride south. My issue is that I can only get 6-7 weeks each winter to travel as I used my year sabbatical riding Prudhoe Bay to Ushuaia two years ago.
I am aware of present travel restrictions but for now I am concentrating on a London - Dakar segment for year one. If border closures and health concerns south thereof aren't sorted by year two I will adjust the route.
Can anyone offer experiences (done, read or otherwise)? For now my biggest concern is finding safe, long term bike storage in Dakar, Senegal. My long term guesstimate thereafter is Accra, Ghana. Then Libreville, Gabon and a fourth year finish to Cape Town.
