China crossing 2021.
 
Anyone out there with tentative plans to put a group together for a Kyrgyzstan to Laos crossing next year (via Xinjiang/Xizang/Yunnan)? Obviously Covid and geo-political tensions allowing.

ouroboros2015 4 Oct 2020 11:59

OK. I'll rephrase that: I am looking at the possibility of putting a group together to do this trip next year (with the obvious caveats). I have and will continue to contact some companies to try and get the best possible price. So anyone with a genuine interest? Cheers.bier

Rainville 4 Oct 2020 17:08

Sorry not for 2021 :).

But I'll be looking for a group to do the Kyrgyzstan - China - Pakistan crossing in August 2022 !

Good luck in your search sir! Adventure awaits!

This is what I´m looking for. Today I´ve been watching to google maps. Trying to define my route to East Asia for 2021 spring, and my conclusion was that Tibet is what I really wanted to do. For me the best option to cross Asia. That´s a dream.
I am aware that it is very expensive and there may be certain limitations to visit some sites. but I really like the idea. we are in touch. Wayting for information, details of the costs, the size of the group and possible dates.

ouroboros2015 21 Oct 2020 21:37

For those interested and for more information etc. my email is neilmunro69 at hotmail dot co dot uk.
Cheers.

Pan 23 Oct 2020 08:11

If it is posible to get a China dr. license, as a 69 year old rider, I am interested. :scooter:

ouroboros2015 23 Oct 2020 09:30

Hi Pan. I think the problems in getting a temp. licence applies to 70+. I am seeking clarification from the Chinese companies and will get back to you when I have confirmation. Cheers.

marka21 1 Nov 2020 16:30

Hi, I would be interested I am on a motorbike and I am looking to get to Australia from the U.K.

ouroboros2015 1 Nov 2020 18:31

Hi marka21 and anyone else who may be interested: I've started a FaceBook group for those who want to join, or you can email me at neilmunro69 at hotmail dot co dot uk.
Cheers.

Grant Johnson 1 Nov 2020 19:59

Neil, please remember not everyone is on Facebook, and this forum is a place that people can find, and the information is always available to all interested in going to China permanently, not ephemerally!
Besides, do you really want the ad revenue to go to Facebook?

ouroboros2015 2 Nov 2020 06:27

Hi Grant. To be honest, I actively dislike FaceBook and would prefer to stay well clear of it; but the reality is that it gets way more traffic than the HUBB so I have more chance of gathering enough people to make a viable group.
I will continue to post about the trip here for those who are interested but who are not on FB. As for the "ad revenue": I don't know what that means??
Cheers.bier

ouroboros2015 5 Nov 2020 16:02

Facebook makes billions off advertising to everyone on the platform. They don't need more. We make a few dollars advertising to everyone who visits us - the more visitors the more advertisers and the more they will pay :)

Hope that makes sense!

ouroboros2015 7 Nov 2020 22:20

Hi. What is your planned route? I am heading to South East Asia, not India. Cheers.

ouroboros2015 10 Nov 2020 11:19

With the news of a potential Covid vaccine edging closer; the prospects of travel being possible next summer have improved. It looks like there a few people on 4 wheels interested. We need more people on 2 wheels, so if any bikers are interested..........?

ouroboros2015 16 Nov 2020 17:20

For those interested; there may be the opportunity of splitting the group in Yunnan (after passing through Tibet). So, some will continue on to Laos, while the rest will head north to Mongolia. More cars than bikes interested at the moment. We need more bikers! bier

patrickneedsfood 11 Jan 2021 17:34

This still open??
 
Hi Ourobros2015, I'm back again.
So as per the discussion I had with you on my post, myself and GF are planning on china crossing in Sep 2021 (2up on motorbike) but we were trying to avoid Tibet due to the high altitude..... however I have been constantly researching going another path but there seems to be no groups and for just ourselves - an exorbitant price. So that means that we would be very very interested in joining your group.

I can send on whatever details required to your email, just let me know.

Patrick

ouroboros2015 11 Jan 2021 19:47

Hi Patrick. It's just a waiting game at the moment: we are deep into another lockdown in London for now, with no clear idea of when the restrictions will be eased.
Assuming the vaccine rollout makes overland tavel possible by the summer, then the trip will be on. Things should become clearer and more fixed over the next couple of months (at least I hope so!?). I'll PM you my email.
Cheers

Hello, next year we will start our world tour with 2 Harleys from Austria to Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and on to South America. Entry into China in July 2022 would be better for us, but August would also be possible.

We would like to join your group. Bahre

ouroboros2015 2 Feb 2021 21:52

Hi Herdor. I replied to your PM.
Cheers.
