Leigh and I will be out there around the same time. If you see a White Tenere stuck It will be us ...The kettle will be on

If anyone else is out that way at the end of August and would like to share a container to ship to the states/Canada/Or Alaska that would be great.

Dazzer and Leigh

I'll look out for you! I might be interested in sharing a container though not sure if you were looking for another car!

Hi I’ll be on a DRZ400 cross Russia (June / July) / Kazakhstan / Mongolia leaving Zurich 1st June Arriving China border around 1st September. I would love to meet up with folks crossing Russia as I’m still a bit nervous of doing Russia as a solo female wimp!!!
(Plans will be finalized by end Feb as I’m still researching the tours I need to join to cross China)

I'll be in the Russia-ish area sometime around then too! I'm still working out exactly what I'm doing, but I'll keep my eye on this thread.

LSpence - would be very interested in what you find out about China if you don't mind sharing! I hadn't planned to go that far, but my plans are moveable feasts!

Thanks

Birdy

what about only in Mongolia ?

if you have interest, get in touch at eni_del@yahoo.de

Hi Birdy
You cannot cross China alone as you must be accompanied by an English speaking guide. There is also quiet a lot of paperwork to arrange beforehand. I’ve looked into doing this myself and its near impossible, Chinese drivers license, permits for each state etc etc. the only real way to do it is to join a group or contact a reputable overland travel agency that will sort it out for you. It’s pretty expensive and costs thousands. So a group is really the best option. There are 3 groups crossing china in September all starting from Kyrgyzstan. I was hoping to cross over from Mongolia in September.
Happy to share more if you drop me a note.
Ciao
