Hi Declan,
My plans sound a lot like yours right now.
I am looking to leave UK (I am Aussie) about May 20th, see some of east EU to hit Turkey about July 13, then go via Iran to Kyrgysztan towards mid-late august. Then I hope to meet up with others for crossing of China.
For sure camping/cheap options riding DL650.
It might be that you will boom through EU a bit faster than me, but let me know if you want to chat and discuss plan - I'm always up for a riding partner.
