Missed you...
Must have missed you. Currently in Almaty and leaving for the Pamir today. Good luck to Jimmy and the crew from the northern meet last year.
Cheers
Paul

Enjoy the Pamirs!
Hi Paul,
Hope you'll enjoy the Pamirs. From what I've seen on pictures, it must be one amazing landscape & ride!
Would be interested to hear what the petrol situation is like. Are you gonna take any spare fuel? What's your route? Straight between Murghab and Khorog, or are you gonna go past Ishkashim?
All the best & Keep in touch!
Bjorn

Hi Alex and welcome,
Many, many people travel this route, at least as far as India. I suggest you head to the Travellers' Stories link on the left, get yourself a drink and some snacks and start reading. You will find lots of interesting stories and info.
Then, if you have specific questions, you should return here to the forum and ask them.
Happy reading and have fun preparing your trip.

Hello All, I was just wondering how this trip went ? I was the guy who organised the first meeting in the Convent Garden pub with about 10 possible riders. Not sure how many made the trip, I didn't due to f*cking my knee (cartledge and ligaments in October '07), an opertation in Febuary and 10 months off work.
Now I've got itchy feet again, a garage full off bikes kitted and ready (well I had to do something with my enforced leisure) XT600z, XRV650 and R100gs.
So slightly delayed I'm thinking of doing the UK-Stans-Mongolia-Russia-UK route or part of it. So any of you who did the trip do get in touch, it'd be good to hear what I missed out on.
Brian..

I didn't make it. Went straight to India, gave up trying to get my bike shipped from Australia to Delhi and bought an Enfield 350 in Nepal. I was in India and Nepal for 4 months and it was great, but it wore me out. India's a hard place to do alone. I got back 12 days ago and need to save up for my next trip.
